Little CaesarsŪ Pizza Announces Industry-Leading Franchise Program For Veterans
11/14/2006
Detroit, TX - Little Caesars recently announced its Little Caesars Veterans Program, which provides franchise business opportunities to qualified, honorably discharged veterans transitioning to civilian life or seeking a career change.
“Our founder Michael Ilitch, a former Marine himself, strongly believes in giving back and helping others. He also believes that it’s important for Little Caesars to thank the men and women who have served in the armed forces, and that veterans should have the chance to return home with business opportunities, or transition to a new career,” said David Scrivano, president, Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc. “The Little Caesars Veterans Program is specifically designed to do just that and offers hard working candidates the ability to apply their leadership and organizational skills in a hands-on, rewarding environment."
“Creating an opportunity for veterans to become Little Caesars franchise owners is a win-win for qualified veterans and for the company,” explained Scrivano in making the announcement. “The veterans have a chance to own their own business, make decisions on a daily basis that impact it, and become involved in their communities. Little Caesars benefits by adding qualified franchisees with a strong personal commitment, integrity and a teamwork management style.”
"The Little Caesars Veterans Program provides honorably discharged and disabled service members with an outstanding opportunity to utilize their leadership skills to run a business,” said Lt. Col. Francis Piccoli, U.S. Marine Corps. “The program offers significant credits and discounts, marketing support and special financing options. This truly unique program is a valuable and excellent option for our service members who transition to the civilian workforce each year - especially our wounded warriors who have sacrificed greatly for our Corps and country."
As part of its plan for continued growth, Little Caesars supports franchisees with the tools of a proven system. They include ongoing training, architectural services to help with design and construction, preferred lenders to assist with financing, the ongoing research and development of new products, and continuing, effective marketing resources.
“We’re very excited about this program and believe that it offers an exceptional business opportunity for veterans who are seeking new career options,” said Scrivano. “Little Caesars is a growing chain with a recognized and strong brand. We’ve experienced five consecutive years of significant sales increases. We will continue to focus on what works for us: providing a convenient, high quality product with great value for a low cost.”
The Center for Veterans Enterprise (part of the Department of Veterans Affairs), Marine For Life (an organization that helps Marines and Sailors transition to civilian life), and the International Franchise Association (through its VetFran program) are points of contact for the Little Caesars Veterans Program. They can provide information about the requirements and qualifications of becoming a Little Caesars franchisee. Applications will be received through December 31, 2008.
