DETROIT, April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Little Caesars, the third
largest pizza chain in the world, announced today the signing of
several new multi-unit development agreements to expand its
presence across target markets in the U.S., fueling the brand's
ongoing efforts to grow with ambitious operating partners. As part
of these deal signings, Little Caesars will open more than 30 new
restaurants throughout San Diego,
Memphis, Tampa, Raleigh, Minneapolis-St. Paul, San Antonio and Eugene.
As part of these deal signings, Little
Caesars will open more than 30 new restaurants
Spearheading Little Caesars expansion across Southern California is Leo Gonzalez, an experienced franchise owner
operating multiple Little Caesars restaurants in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. Recognizing areas of opportunity
to grow the brand across an untapped market, Gonzalez committed to
open nine Little Caesars in San
Diego over the next four years.
Just as motivated to bring Little Caesars to further locations
are new franchise owners Jocelyn
Monperousse and Lissette
Isabel. Co-owners of RJBL Pizza, this dynamic female duo is
set to open the first traditional Little Caesars restaurant in
Bradenton, Florida. Their
five-unit franchise agreement will support their continued
development plans in the Tampa
market going into 2027.
"The growth and momentum we've built in the first three months
of 2024 underscores the strength and viability of Little Caesars.
With a business model that's built for our franchise owners, we've
successfully garnered the attention of many experienced multi-unit
operators," said Patrick Cunningham,
Vice President of U.S. Development at Little Caesars. "Our
development pipeline is strong and as we look ahead into the year,
we remain committed to building on this momentum, seeking
opportunities to expand our presence while meeting the evolving
demands of our guests through technology and innovation."
In addition to the recent deal signings, Little Caesars plans to
grow its footprint across the U.S. with its newest restaurant
prototype – Little Caesars PODs. Featuring a design that's built
offsite, PODs have a quicker construction timeline than most
traditional restaurants.
Little Caesars is actively seeking qualified multi-unit
franchise operators to help propel development efforts in target
markets nationwide, including in and around non-traditional venues
like universities, water parks, airports and stadiums. Multi-unit
franchising opportunities remain in regions across the U.S.,
including the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, Kansas City, New
Orleans, and North and South
Carolina. The established brand offers franchisees a
convenience-driven business model and an efficient concept.
