CHAD CABLE, DOMINO’S

Chad Cable is a young and successful Domino’s franchisee in Canberra with a love of pizza and a commitment to community engagement through a broad range of charitable activities. For starters, every year he donates hundreds of pizza vouchers to local sporting clubs and school fetes.

Cable has started supporting Music Kick-Start, a social enterprise project that combines both music and business to help launch the career of disadvantaged musicians. He provides the group with pizza for their weekly meetings.

Cable and his team have also participated in Relay for Life Canberra, part of a global event, helping raise funds for Cancer Council ACT. Not only did Cable compete, but he also provided “tasty sustenance” to participants who walked or ran in a non-stop relay for 24 hours and camped overnight. As well as that, the outlet donated $1 from every pizza sold at the event.

The funds raised from Relay for Life will help Cancer Council ACT continue its work in research, prevention, information and support services, and the franchisee says he would love to work with the organisation again.

“Having Domino’s stores across ACT and New South Wales means we’re fortunate to able to provide pizzas and support to many community groups in different areas,” says Cable. “I believe it is important for us as franchisees to give back to the communities in which we work.”

Domino’s has a program called Give for Good, which supports education and youth initiatives, disaster relief and preparedness, food and sustainability, and leadership and entrepreneurship. Cable believes the program will make a really big difference in these areas over the next few years.

Meanwhile, with expansion ahead for Cable and his business partner, he says it is more important than ever to be more involved in local communities. “That connection and rapport is important for building a mutual relationship and giving back to the people who have helped us along the way.”
