The DIY that keeps on giving... Domino's passed on using outside delivery services (like DoorDash) and spent years beefing up its own app, delivery, and pickup infrastructure. In these social-distancing times, its biz model is tasty. Now the pizza legend is hiring an additional 10K workers to handle increased demand just as restaurants around the US brace for layoffs. Delivery makes up about 55% of Domino's total orders, so it's well-positioned to thrive during these pandemic times.

Of 1st-time online grocery shoppers in a recent survey, a whopping 58% of those newbies shopped at Walmart. Meanwhile an economic recession could boost appeal for its low prices. And its biggest strength is still its reach — 90% of Americans live within 10 miles of a Walmart.
