It was Domino's. I don't think he's part of the business anymore.
The new advertising campaign has brought back the 30 minute thing.
It's not 30 minute delivery, rather "what you could have done with
the 30 minutes rather than cooking." I'm sure there's still some
fools that think they will be getting guaranteed delivery in 30
minutes. Good marketing with a target audience of idiots.

tom monaghan. yes, he sold his interest in domino's in 1998 and of
late has been involved in ave maria school of law in michigan (a move
to florida was planned, don't know if it came off), with which robert
bork, antonin scalia, and scalia twin clarence thomas have been
involved.

the boycott was promoted if not instigated by the national
organization for women due to his antiabortion activities. monaghan
seems more god-mad than a true wingnut, though.
