In its latest innovation, Domino’s launched the DXP (Delivery Expert) – a specially designed vehicle that has been created exclusively for the recognized world leader in pizza delivery – and now, Domino’s, located at 2380 Texas Ave. in Bridge City, has two!

“We’ve been counting down the days until our DXPs arrived,” said Randy Brown, Bridge City Domino’s franchise owner. “The DXP is a purpose-built vehicle aimed at revolutionizing pizza delivery; it allows our drivers to do their jobs with greater ease and efficiency. The DXP is yet another example that shows how fanatical Domino’s is about making exceptional deliveries.”

The DXP was born of Domino’s passion for innovation with design inspiration generated from a five-stage crowdsource competition hosted by automaker Local Motors. Domino’s worked with renowned automotive engineer Roush Enterprises to transform the Chevrolet Spark^® with its international, tech-savvy command deck and nimble maneuverability into a delivery vehicle for Domino’s pizza and other menu items.

“The DXPs in Bridge City are two of 97 DXPs in the U.S., so we’re looking forward to getting them out on the road to serve hot, delicious pizza to those in the community,” said Brown.

Domino’s is extremely passionate about delivery, as it currently represents the majority of Domino’s business.  In the U.S. alone, Domino’s delivers about 400 million pizzas a year and delivery drivers cover roughly 10 million miles each week – equivalent to 21 round trips to the moon.
