James Monaghan

James Monaghan worked as a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service when he and Tom bought the pizza store.

James Monaghan co-bought DomiNick's with his brother Tom in 1960. Unwilling to give up his postal job for the long hours of the pizza shop, he traded his half of the business to Tom in 1961 in exchange for the store's Volkswagen Beetle, a deal often cited as one of the most costly trades in business history. (Exact birth year remains publicly undisclosed).
