Tim McIntyre, vice president of communications for the national pizza maker, says his 600 employees will eventually need to consider other digs. However, the moving vans won't be arriving just yet, he says.
Tom Monaghan sold the company in 1998 to Bain Capital Inc. of Boston, but still retained ownership of Domino Farms. Domino's has a three-year lease with Monaghan, with an option for another five years. McIntyre says speculation that the company would move into a new 200,000-sf office development across the street, planned by Kojaian Cos. of Bloomfield Hills, MI are not true. "That rumor materialized out of thin air," he says.
Another plan to build an addition to combine the two main Domino Farms buildings on the site has failed twice. McIntyre said more room is needed for training, conference rooms, storagespace and other general office expansions.
"We're a growing company. We'd like to have more space for our people. We've got some time, though, it's not like we have people sharing desks," McIntyre says.
He notes the company is looking at long-term alternatives for where it could find the room. There is currently no deadline to the decision, McIntyre says.
"Right now the building we're in is full," he adds. "It's a multi-use building, and other tenants have needs, too. We want to make our company bigger, while also being more efficient, just like every other company out there."
A new Domino's headquarters would not be moved very far. "We don't want to inconvenience our workers," McIntyre says.
