Domino’s adds to eatery choices in Fort Scott

Domino’s Pizza opens in Fort Scott Monday, September 18 at 1709 S. National.

The franchise is owned by Emily and Dan Elwell, Jasper, Mo.

Matt Ebert, assistant manager; Emily Elwell, owner; and Kevin Knippelberger, manager pose in front of the store Friday. The ribbon cutting for the business is 10:15 a.m. Monday September 18.

The Elwell’s looked at different markets when deciding where to expand their business and through happenstance discovered the abandoned building on National Avenue.

They just happened to pull off Hwy. 69 at the strip mall site, she said, saw the for sale sign and a drive-through window and went directly to the real estate agent next door to the property to inquire.

“It’s been eerie how it worked out,” Emily Elwell said. “We are supposed to be in Fort Scott.”

They currently have 17 employees, all local.

Hours for the pizza eatery are 10:30 a.m. to midnight, Sunday through Thursday; 10:30 a.m.to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

  1. Looking forward to your reply.
    I understand the cost of making pizza. About $5-6. You claim $9.95.? Really.

    Crust is good.
    There are not enough toppings to claim anything but a cheese pizza, with some garnishing…
    Have you ever eaten any of these pizzas.? A taste test..?
    Follow up on customer complaints.?
    Just another text from someone that speaks pidgin English..

    Your sides are good. Reduce the price about 60%. Macaroni is cheap, cheese, bread.
    Way overpriced.
    Pizza Hut could school you well.

    I called earlier, would be glad to speak with Emily, her husband, whoever I can get to explain the sorry situation that we are dealing with..

    Their is no reason the store could recognize points.
    The manager did what he could, he was very gracious, and realized this sorry situation..

    If you need any help with making
    Pizza, marketing, customer satisfaction, delivery, which should be free in a small town.
    I do tip generously.

    Long time customer..
