About Little Caesars

From a single store to a global chain, Little Caesars Pizza charted a path to global success, starting in 1959 when founders Mike and Marian Ilitch opened their first restaurant in Michigan, United States. By 1962, the brand began franchising and by 1969, it went international. Today, the brand is the third largest pizza chain in the world.

Little Caesars is currently operating in 27 countries and territories worldwide, with aggressive expansion plans to bring the iconic pizza brand to more countries, including the UK.

With thousands of restaurants on four continents, Little Caesars is known for its value, convenience and quality tasting pizzas and has been named ‘Best Value in America’ for 13 years in a row.

The brand’s signature HOT-N-READY model allows customers to walk in the door and out the door in 30 seconds or less with an affordable, freshly made pizza and side items without waiting and with no need to order in advance. 

Through the years, Little Caesars’ top priority has steadfastly remained creating a great tasting product at an incredible value.

Pizza is made with fresh, quality ingredients, including dough that is made fresh in stores daily, sauce that is fresh-packed and never frozen and a signature cheese blend combining mozzarella and Muenster cheese.

A simple menu ensures the ability to provide quality products at a low cost, ready when the customer arrives.

How does the Little Caesars franchise model work?

The concept is designed to maximise profitability through:

• Continuing technology and innovation improvements.
• Low square footage.
• A limited number of employees.
• A grab-n-go service that helps to keep costs low and margins high.

What type of franchisees is Little Caesars looking to recruit?

The company is searching for franchisees who share Little Caesars’ ideas about values and corporate culture, have experience in owning and operating a multi-unit restaurant business and have sufficient financial resources to scale aggressively by opening multiple stores, with $1.5 million in liquid assets.

They must also have access to highly preferred real estate, commit to a schedule of 10-plus stores in five years, have the organisation structure to support, own and operate a network of multiple stores and a long-term strategic vision for developing the Little Caesars brand.
