Burger Hustle

Can the man who built Domino's Pizza do the same with hamburgers?

Tom Monaghan, who founded Domino's Pizza with one store and sold the restaurant colossus in 1998 for a reported $1 billion to Bain Capital, recently launched Gyrene Burger, promising 10-minute delivery of hamburgers.

Now a Naples resident, Monaghan is starting out modestly with two Gyrene Burger stores in town. But watch out, because Monaghan believes the chain could eclipse Domino's. “There's that kind of potential, maybe even bigger,” he says.
