Little Caesars Partners with Michigan State University for Campus Expansion

Little Caesars has announced a new partnership with Michigan State University, resulting in the opening of restaurants at three of the university's major sports venues. The pizza chain debuted at Spartan Stadium during the Spartans' season-opening football game on August 29. Additional locations will operate at Munn Ice Arena and Breslin Center.

Derek Turowski, a Little Caesars franchisee, will manage the operations of these new locations. Turowski, an alumnus of Michigan State University, has been involved in the franchise industry since his early career, eventually expanding to over 16 Little Caesars restaurants across Michigan. He is also developing a new location in Holt, Michigan.

The partnership with Michigan State University aligns with Little Caesars' strategy to expand its presence in non-traditional venues such as universities and sports facilities. This move is part of a broader effort to grow in key markets nationwide. Little Caesars is actively seeking multi-unit franchise operators to support its development efforts in various regions, including the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, Kansas City, New Orleans, and the Carolinas.

Little Caesars offers franchisees a business model centered on convenience and efficiency, featuring flexible restaurant formats that can accommodate various real estate options. The company emphasizes its integrated supply chain and innovative menu offerings as part of its franchisee support system.
