Domingos Newsletter November 2023

The Domingos Newsletter is HERE!

Welcome! For those who may not know, Fat Cousins, re:fab, re:fab Living, DogTowne and Why Not A Pear, are all brands under the Domingos Holdings umbrella. While each unique brand operates independently, all companies share common values and support one another in many different ways. Some of you currently work for just one or maybe a few of our brands, and some of you may have started working at one brand and now work for another. This newsletter is designed to keep you up to date on all activities happening throughout our organization, in an effort to grow together as a team.

“I’m proud and in awe of all that our teams have accomplished in 2023. We are all re:fab, all re:fab Living, DogTowners, Pears and Fat Cousins. In all, we are a Domingos Holdings family. I thank you all for everything you do!”

-Dave Moura, CEO of Domingos Holdings

A Message from Sandie Parker, GM of Fat Cousins

Here at Fat Cousins, we have always focused on teamwork, hard work and a sense of dedication to help us become successful. What we created was not just a restaurant, but a place where people can go and feel like family. We had an opportunity to open our second location in Norton this year and are working toward creating that same culture there. We also are a big part of our community in Lakeville and have been making some contacts in Norton to do the same – thank you, Bev, for getting us into all the school activities.

We are currently running food drives in both locations and a toy drive in Norton. Shoutout to the Lakeville team who have been supportive through this transition of opening Norton, and the Norton team for all their hard work getting the restaurant open and operational. Let’s continue to focus on Dave’s 3 Things: smiling faces, never enough great food and clean restaurants.

Thank you for all you do!

It’s A Dog-Play-With-Dog World!

A message from Julia Moura, Owner/ Founder of DogTowne

It’s been a busy year for the coaches over at DogTowne. We kicked off our first season in March and so far, we have been hitting it out of the park. This year, we are happy to have welcomed 378 new furry teammates! All teammates have brought different personalities, challenges and fun! We started with two coaches on our roster and are finishing out the season with seven. We hosted a few events here at the DogTowne Ballpark. Yoga with Haleigh was a success this summer and Treat Week was a fun way for our all-stars to celebrate Halloween. We are excited for our Paint Night coming up with Create with Kath on November 28th! We have faced some challenges and evaluated our game plays to ensure we are providing the best care possible to our all-stars! I am appreciative of all DogTowne coaches both on and off the playing field. Without all of their help, DogTowne would not be where we are today! We had some major wins this season and we cannot wait to see what next season brings! Play ball!

 

DogTowne Paint Night!

Join DogTowne and Kathy Patrick from Create with Kath for a Paint Night on Tuesday, November 28th at 7pm! We will be painting dog bowls and wine/pint glasses! Find out more and sign up here!

 

All-Star Coach Shout-Out!

Thank you, Jenna, for all that you do!

 

Why Not Make A DIFFERENCE!

Brooke Kramer and Sarah Baillargeon at the Why Not A Pear Golf Tournament last month!

A message from Brooke Kramer, President of Why Not A Pear
It has been a busy year for our team at Why Not A Pear! We have been more present than ever, being able to volunteer and take part of initiatives in person more than before. Our annual golf tournament on October 6th was a great success and we are grateful to those that support and attend our largest fundraiser of the year. We were able to raise over $30K in proceeds that will go towards funding and supporting youth programs and organizations, such as Community Autism Resources, Gnome Surf and more.
The Why Not A Pear team is looking forward to the 2023 holiday season because of our involvement in the Christmas Angels program. It is arguably one of our favorite initiatives each year and it always brings the team together.
Just some Pears gone golfin’

re:paint, re:model, re:fresh, RE:VISION

A message from Matt Moura, President of re:fab

We have had a great year at re:fab. We had a very slow start but have been resilient as a team and are in a position to achieve our annual goal. We have established four separate departments at re:fab, re:paint, re:model, re:fresh, and re:brand. We have scaled quickly to meet demand and have hired over 10 additional office employees. We are now launching a new regional sales program to help boost local sales and growth. We are set up to grow in 2024 and are aiming to hit our goal of $12m this year!

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: A TANK of a project! Repainting an ammonia tank in just 4 DAYS!

The crews at re:fab had to suit up for this project at a combined-cycle plant in North Weymouth, MA! Painting the inside of an ammonia tank can be challenging. You need plenty of safety personnel on site, plus the air must be tested for ammonia levels before entering. This can lead to delays if levels are too high. With lots of planning and safety training, re:fab was able to get this tank painted inside and out, in just 4 days!

This project was a big one and everyone did a great job! Thank you for all the hard work. Learn more and see more photos here!
