Global Pizza Chain Maps 23 New Store Openings

Detroit-based Little Caesars says it’s celebrating its 65th anniversary by signing numerous multiunit development agreements to expand its footprint across the U.S.

The agreements will translate into more than 23 new restaurants opening, according to the press release. New locations will open in Dallas, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Charlotte, Albuquerque, Brooklyn, Baltimore and Greenville. Additionally, Little Caesars hosted several grand openings over the past few months, including three new restaurants in New York City.

Little Caesars expansion efforts in the Northeast are strengthened by the commitment made by restaurateurs Suhel Ahmed and Saurabh Desai, who plan to open 10 new locations throughout New York City by 2026. Meanwhile, Kiren Patel, who, together with his team at Sagacity Ventures, acquired more than 30 Little Caesars restaurants across the Northeast and committed to opening additional locations in the Baltimore market. The franchise group’s goal is to expand to 50 Little Caesars across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Maryland.

In 2024, Little Caesars says it accelerated nontraditional unit expansion to meet the demand for flexible options in competitive markets and the growing preference for convenient dining.

Little Caesars has restaurants in 50 U.S. states and 28 countries and territories.
