Going back to the original post... Dominos is indeed based out of Michigan (Ann Arbor area, specifically, home of the Wolverines who kicked Buckeye tail this weekend [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
). They are a large enough pizza chain that their founder, Tom Monoghan, owned the Detroit Tigers professional baseball team.
What I would say is that if they are interested in acquiring your dad's shop, talk to them seriously about it. They will have the pockets to do something nice [img]graemlins/twocents.gif[/img] , no matter what some people say about their pizza.
