History

The Dominic’s of New York® Story

You gotta start somewhere. The Dominic’s of New York® story starts with my grandfather Papa Felico, who immigrated to this country from Italy, opened a wooden vending cart and sold Italian candies and roasted peanuts at street fairs. My father, Dominic Felico, followed in his father’s footsteps and found a market selling Italian sausages from a street cart. Not wanting to go against family tradition, when it came time for me to enter the fast-paced New York workforce, I decided to open my own Italian sausage cart. My sandwiches were so mouth-wateringly delicious that word began to spread beyond the confines of my kiosk in Queens.

Soon I began to receive calls from businesses far and wide and I realized that the market for my sandwiches extended beyond the borders of New York. Working hand in hand with my wife Diane, we gathered capital to take our concept nationwide. Since then, things have been moving at top speed. Part of the reason for our success is that we fulfill an empty niche in the fast-food industry. The main reason, though, is our irresistible, unique and great-tasting food. In keeping with family tradition, Dominic’s of New York® is committed to serving only the freshest, finest products. We offer great value for the money and we pride ourselves in providing extraordinary customer service.

Currently, our kiosks are located outside of big-box retailers, athletic stadiums, and amusement parks. We're also at shopping centers where we install more traditional food-court restaurants and more recently we’ve introduced our own line of products to supermarkets.
