Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc., achieved a major milestone with its pioneering Little Caesars Veterans Program. The company conducted its first three day training class for six U.S. Veterans who have been awarded franchise opportunities in Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, New York and Ohio. Launched on Veterans Day in 2006, the Little Caesars Veterans Program creates an opportunity for veterans to become Little Caesars franchise owners. The Little Caesars Veterans Program lessens some of the hurdles for those who may not otherwise have the opportunity or the financial resources to become entrepreneurs.  PRESS RELEASE   PHOTO GALLERY

“The Little Caesars Veterans Program is making a difference for veterans like me.  It has given me the opportunity to take my life in a new direction and become an entrepreneur.  I’m looking forward to putting the knowledge I gain from the training programs into practice when I open my first store in southeast Michigan later this year.”

“I believe that the skills I learned in the military, including a focus on teamwork, dedication and a familiarity with processes, will help me be an effective Little Caesars franchisee.  I’m excited about owning my own business and making decisions on a daily basis that impact the bottom line, as well as participating in the community.”

“Little Caesars offers an outstanding support system that acts as a family for their franchisees, much like the military.  The training empowers all franchisees to feel comfortable using the tools, at both an operational and marketing level, that are required to run a business.”
