SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - South Bend was selected as one of Domino’s "Paving for Pizza" grant recipients.
It's part of the pizza chain's effort to "save carryout pizza, one pothole at a time."
Domino's announcement:
Domino’s promised to save carryout pizza, one pothole at a time, and it is doing just that in South Bend. Thanks to an overwhelming number of nominations from its residents, South Bend was selected as a “Paving for Pizza” grant recipient. “Cracks, bumps and potholes can easily ruin a good carryout pizza, and nobody wants that,” said Glenn Mueller, South Bend Domino’s franchise owner. “We’re thrilled that South Bend was selected as a grant recipient to help smooth the ride home for our carryout customers.” Domino’s launched its Paving for Pizza program in June of 2018, asking customers to nominate their town for a grant to repair potholes. Since the program launched, Domino’s received more than 137,000 nominations from 15,275 different zip codes in all 50 states. Customers submitted so many nominations that Domino’s decided to expand the program to pave one community in each state.
