Medina / Ohio / United States
The first day, Dominics Pizza grossed $50 from 9 a.m. to midnight ; not much, but a start. Dominic saved every penny, and when the space behind him became available 2 years later, he opened JoJos Sports Bar, named after his daughter, Stephanie Jo. He wanted a place where people could come to watch the blacked out Browns games. The very first game was an exhibition game between the Browns and NY Jets. People came from everywhere since JoJos was the first sports bar in the area with a satellite dish. Hundreds of people piled in, sitting on the floor and standing shoulder to shoulder. JoJos was on its way.Dominics continued to grow. The freshest and best products available were still used. When the building went up for sale, Dominic took out a second mortgage on his home and bought the building. He used every penny he had, plus some, to start Dominics Italian Restaurant. He wanted to open a restaurant where customers could get good quality food, nice atmosphere, and good service without spending too much.Dominic Carrino and his family ; mother Betty, sister Sherry, brother Dean, niece Ashley and nephew Dean, continue to work hard to provide the customers the freshest and best quality food available.
