some people still won't eat domino's pizza because of the former owner's anti-abortion funding (operation rescue).
the entire business is surely worth less today than had that controversy never happened.

and yet, they're still quite profitable. just not AS profitable as they otherwise might have been.

incidentally, guess who he sold domino's pizza to?

that's right, none other than bain capital.
