Rice-a-Roni creators build Golden Grain into giant firm
The DeDomenico brothers built Golden Grain Macaroni from a small San Francisco pasta shop to a $100 million annual company with Rice-a-Roni becoming a staple across the United States. The family business now spans noodles, a Ghirardelli tie, a Japan soup unit, and microwave technology ventures. Vince, Tom, and Paskey DeDomenico lead the firm with stock held across the three brothers and their children.
