From Domino's to Catholicism

In 1998, when Domino’s founder, Tom Monaghan, sold the Domino’s company for $1 billion, he immediately invested $400 million dollars and founded Ave Maria College.

The college was located in Ypsilanti, Michigan. By 2000, Monaghan founded the Ave Maria School of Law. Both campuses are set to relocate to Ave Maria, a Catholic-inspired town in Southwestern Florida.

On Saturday, the town will open to the public, and the two campuses will move in the following week.

According to USA Today, Monaghan “created a stir last year when he was quoted as having said in a speech to a Catholic men's conference that pharmacies wouldn't be allowed to stock condoms or birth control pills and that cable TV would show no pornography.”

Even with all the controversy surrounding Ave Maria, Florida, many people around the US are looking forward to relocate their homes to this Catholic town. Perhaps they’ll even eat complimentary Domino’s pizza. Learn more here.
