Domino's Pizza is branching out of the restaurant business and entering a new ring, public roads. As part of their new "Paving for Pizza" initiative, Domino's Pizza is repairing potholes across the United States in order to smooth the ride home for customers and their pizzas. You can nominate your area at pavingforpizza.com and enter your zip code. If your town is picked, it will receive funds to help repair roads, so pizzas can make it home safely -- you know what happens when the delivery driver goes over a pot hole. Toppings are sloshing all over the place, with some slices even landing on top of each other. In all seriousness, Dominoes wants to help out with the crumbling infrastructure by filling in some of those potholes, instead of stretching city budgets. Do you think you will nominate a street in your town?

Papa John's -- In 1972, John Schnatter, AKA "Papa John," was working at his father's tavern, which was on the verge of going under. Schnatter sold his prized Camaro to keep the business afloat, and needing to quickly increase sales, he decided to knock down the broom closet and turn it into a small pizzeria. What started as a small tavern that sold pizza evolved into the world's first Papa John's.

Chipotle -- Steve Ells, the founder or Chipotle, had just finished culinary school in 1993. His goal was to open a fine-dining restaurant, but he didn't have the funds to do so. With a small loan from his father, he opened the very first Chipotle to raise money for his dream restaurant. Within the first month, Chipotle sold more than 1,000 burritos, and he decided to focus his attention on those.

Craigslist -- In 1995, Craig Newmark moved from Detroit to San Francisco for a new job as a programmer. Since he was a newcomer to the area, he created a small message board where he could post social events occurring around the city that he thought other programmers would like. The site surged in popularity after Newmark added a section where people could post job offerings. Eventually, the site expanded to all major cities, fueling its growth as one of the largest sites on the internet.

Harley Davidson - As one of the most recognizable motorcycle names in the world, Harley-Davidson has become a brand with cult-like popularity. Oddly enough, the famous bike started out as an experiment between two friends after they saw the first "horseless carriage." Arthur Davidson and William Harley began experiments to take the work out of bicycling. They quickly realized that their invention had a wide appeal and started making consumer versions of their motorized bicycles--the famous Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Yankee Candles -- In the 1960s, Yankee Candle founder Michael J. Kittredge was a broke teenager. Penniless, and with his mother's birthday coming up, he decided to make her a gift. He gathered all the old crayons he had, melted them, and made a candle. Proud of his work, he showed his neighbor, who offered to buy the candle for $2. Kittredge's entrepreneurial spirit got the best of him, and he decided to sell it. A few years later, while in college, Kittredge made candles in his parents' house as a side business. It wasn't until his parents told him they couldn't handle the boxes of candles everywhere that he finally decided to expand. In 1998, Kittredge ended up selling Yankee Candle for more than $500 million.
