Little Caesars has signed a franchise agreement with veteran multi-brand franchisees Suhel Ahmed and Saurabh Desai, to expand its presence in New York City. The deal involves the development of 10 Little Caesars restaurants in the Bronx and upper Manhattan by 2026, with the first opening scheduled for late 2023. This is part of Little Caesars’ plan to grow across the Tri-State area, and the company is looking for accomplished multi-unit franchisees with extensive QSR experience to help expand the brand.

According to Jeremy Vitaro, the chief development officer of Little Caesars, New York City is a well-known market for pizza, and the company is excited to bring more of its high-quality, great-value products and fast, convenient ordering options to the city. Little Caesars understands that convenience is crucial in a fast-paced city like New York, and their digital-first offerings, such as the Pizza Portal® pickup, are well-suited for residents.

“We know how to own and operate a multi-unit franchise business, and we know what brands work in New York City,” adds Ahmed. “We chose to franchise with Little Caesars because it has decades of experience as a global pizza chain and because of its recognized value, quality and convenience that revolutionized the pizza industry.”

Little Caesars is a family-owned pizza chain with stores in all 50 US states and 27 countries and territories. Little Caesars is known for its high-quality, great-value products and fast, convenient ordering options, including its digital-first offerings like the Pizza Portal® pickup. The Pizza Portal® pickup is the first heated, self-serve mobile order pick-up station in the quick service restaurant industry.

Little Caesars is seeking multi-unit franchisees with extensive QSR experience to help grow the brand internationally.
