Domino's pizza proudly joins dairy industry in celebrating June Dairy Month

(Press release), Ann Arbor, MI, June 6, 2013 — Helping kick off June Dairy Month, Domino's Pizza is extremely proud to join with the dairy industry in 'Delivering Dairy Goodness' – highlighted by events throughout the month of June and beyond, around the U.S.

The recognized world leader in pizza delivery DPZ +1.46% , in partnership with the Dairy Farmers of Utah, will debut the 'Delivering Dairy Goodness' program at Canyon View Farms in Midway, UT, on June 8.

The "Day on the Farm" event will showcase how farmers create dairy goodness through their commitment to working hard and producing quality dairy products – a true way of life on their farms. The day will include a farm tour, petting zoo and, of course, free pizza.

"We have enjoyed a strong five-year partnership with Domino's that includes new opportunities through our 'dairy goodness' efforts," said Paul Rovey, Arizona dairy farmer and chair of Dairy Management, Inc. (DMI), which works to help protect and build dairy consumption on behalf of America's dairy farmers and importers. "It is important that we connect consumers across the country with our farms, and showcase the important work we do to help produce terrific things – like great-tasting Domino's pizzas."

Domino's and other dairy promotion organizations around the country will invite the public to additional 'Delivering Dairy Goodness' events – both on and off the farm – this summer.

"Domino's Pizza is privileged to partner with America's dairy farmers and importers," said Patrick Doyle, Domino's Pizza president and chief executive officer. "The 'Delivering Dairy Goodness' events are a terrific way for our local business owners, along with dairy farm family businesses, to connect with their communities around the country."
