History
Donatos Pizza opened in Columbus, Ohio, in 1963. A student in Ohio State, Jim Grote, wanted to create an establishment that would focus on three things: making superior pizzas, hiring great people and treating others as he would also like. So he purchased the first store for $1,300 and kicked off with his dreams.
The brand was a big hit and quickly became a big favourite in Columbus with college students and families, mainly focusing on their excellent customer service and superior products. He started franchising the business in 1991 and this is how the company evolved.
In 1999 Grote sold the brand to McDonald’s when they experimented with expanding their brand. However, despite the chain’s popularity, McDonald’s decided to refocus on their leading brand and eventually sold it back to Jim Grote and his daughter, Jane Abell, in 2003.
Jane Abell is passionate about the chain even to date. They now own over 200 locations across seven states, with most stores located within Ohio. However, the first restaurant is still there and is as busy and popular as it was the first day it opened.Â
