MEET
THE
TOD’S

Your local Domino’s franchisees delivering a slice of kindness to the community.

Hello! We are the Tod Family – Jason, Lindsay and our kids, Leo and Adeline – and we are your local Domino’s franchisees.

We have over 35 years of combined Domino’s experience, so we can confidently say we have pizza sauce running through our veins! It might sound cheesy, but we met here making pizzas at the Bendigo store together over 10 years ago and embarked on a journey into love, life and pizza together.

After working for other franchisees and corporate for years, we realised our own dream of becoming franchisees in 2014 when we bought our first store in Warrnambool. We then expanded into Ballarat in 2016, buying the Wendouree and Bakery Hill stores. In 2018 we came back home to Bendigo, and took on the Bendigo CBD and Kangaroo Flat stores, building Strathdale later that same year. Castlemaine joined the team in 2021 and Colac was built the following year.

We are passionate about supporting our local community – just like you support us by choosing to shop at our store. We love that we get to serve our family, friends, high school teachers, old sporting coaches – and friends we have yet to make. Even better than that, we employ over 150 wonderful staff, and work hard to support our beautiful community through sponsorships, doughraisers and creating connections.

Our pizza brings people closer and as you share a slice with loved ones, we want to thank you for choosing Domino’s, and choosing to support our family.

Raising some "Dough" for Love Your Sister at Colac

WE LOVE SERVING PIZZA

AND OUR COMMUNITY

Doughraisers

Each of our stores holds regular days where we "raise some dough" for a local person, charity, group or event. On these days, we donate $1 per pizza sold to whoever we are supporting. Sometimes individual stores do this, and sometimes all stores within a town get together for the same cause. We have raised tens of thousands of dollars over our time as franchisees through doughraisers.

Last dough raiser:

May 17/2024

Domino’s castlemaine: castlemaine FNC

AMount raised:

$355

Next dough raiser: Bendigo health • july 26th

FEED THE KNEAD

The idea of Feed the Knead was born in COVID lockdowns and has extended far beyond that. Food is such a practical way to support people, and let them feel valued and have a break from cooking. We ran a nomination time during covid with Triple M radio where anyone could call in and have dinner that night for their family catered for by us. Hospital staff, CFA volunteers, church outreach groups: anywhere there is a need, we want to be there.

pLAYER OF THE WEEK

If you have ever played junior sports, you'll remember receiving player of the week awards after each game. We sponsor cricket, football, netball, baseball, swimming teams....you name the sport, we either sponsor them, or would love to sponsor them!

SPONSORSHIPS

We also love to sponsor other events and groups. From small fundraisers for individuals, to major charities like Foodshare. We provide free pizzas and vouchers for raffles, volunteers working in the rain, event organisers and teams for things like Relay for Life and The Biggest Morning Tea. There is nothing too small for us to want to help with!

The new Epsom store took out the top spot for Highest Opending Week sales in Australia for 2023! Thank you for all of your support in our Epsom location. We couldn’t have done this without you!

Lindsay SPeaks on women’s panel

Lindsay was invited to speak at the Domino’s Rally for the “Pizz-her Power: Celebrating Women in Domino’s” panel. As an advocator for women to succeed in an industry that is traditionally male dominated, it was such an honour to be able to inspire other young females to take the leap and step into leadership positions in stores.

Welcoming Domino’s Epsom!
