BUSINESS IS BOOMING

Tom Pry

Just a brief business note ...

Once upon a time, back in the 50s, the SHS crowd frequently hung out at Dairy Queen, you know, just east of The Park.

Then they built a new one out on East Race and, not long thereafter, a Domino's Pizza moved into the building. Then Domino's disappeared and, today, our old hangout is a pawn shop.

As for Domino's, they just disappeared ... until a few short months ago, when a new one popped up in a strip mall on the Race Street end of the Wal-Mart parking lot.

With Mazzio's, Little Caesar's, Pizza Pro and others here in town, you'd think we didn't need another pizza joint. Not true. A weekend ago, Domino's had to lock the door and stop answering the phone. No, they weren't out of business. It was just that, it being a Harding weekend, they had over a hundred orders in the pipeline and decided they couldn't take any more orders for the evening.

Thought you'd like to know that SOMEONE has got money for pizza here in Searcy.
