25. Hello, I'm Patrick Doyle, president of Domino's USA. Recently, we discovered a video of
two dominoes team members who thought that their acts would be a funny YouTube
hoax. We sincerely apologize for this incident. We thank members of the online
community who quickly alerted us and allowed us to take immediate action. Although
the individuals in question claim it's a hoax, we are taking this incredibly seriously. This
was an isolated incident in Conover, North Carolina. The two team members have been
dismissed and there are felony warrants out for their arrests. The store has been shut
down and sanitized from top to bottom. There is nothing more important or sacred to
us than our customers trust. We are re-examining all of our hiring practices to make
that people like this don't make it into our stores. We have auditors across the country
in our stores everyday of the week, making sure that our stores are as clean as they can
possibly be and that we are delivering high quality food to our customers day in and day
out. The independent owner of that store is reeling from the damage that this has
caused and it is not a surprise that this has caused a lot of damage to our brand. It
sickens me that the actions of two individuals could impact our great system, where 125
000 men and women work for local business owners around the US and more than 60
countries around the world. We take tremendous pride in crafting delicious food that
they deliver to you every day. There are so many people who have come forward with
messages of support for us and we want to thank you for hanging in there with us as we
work to regain your trust.
