[edit] Markets

Just wondering, is Little Caesars pervasive outside the Metro Detroit area? 216.58.25.90

It was pretty common here in the Houston Metro area ten years ago, but now every one that I knew of is gone. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 02:37, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
They're in some markets, not in others. They have a minor decent presence in the Syracuse metro, but I believe all their locations are still in Kmarts here. as, after checking, I found nine locations, only one of which is in a Kmart. -newkai | talk | contribs 11:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
They all but abandoned Atlanta in the late 90's / early 2000's, but a number of new franchises have appeared in the last year (an employee at one near us in Woodstock, GA, says they started up four months ago). I also noticed a number of new locations while driving around the San Francisco penninsula this week. Grain of salt:, this comment is entirely anecdotal.

I feel this resourceful article should be added to a category for unscrupolous organizations that fail to follow even basic child labor laws.

Haven't seen one in awhile. Possibly due to the horrid taste of their product, according to my pallette, but others may revel in their fare. Burp.20:03, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Many of them have gone belly-up in Eastern Ontario, they used to be in Ottawa, Kingston, Belleville but now the closest Little Caesar location to Ottawa is Oshawa or Peterborough some 400km distant. I think the last of the three Ottawa locations went bankrupt a year or so ago. --66.102.80.239 19:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

There are many in the Chicagoland area, and I regularly go there to get my fill of the greasiest pizza on Earth. 206.252.74.48 (talk) 18:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Largest Store? What proof?

Little Caesars and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_Hut both say they are the largest. We need to clean BOTH up, as only one can be. Will aslo post this msg at PH's section.

Little Caesars is the world's largest carry-out chain. Pizza Hut is the largest pizza chain overall. -newkai t-c 08:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

You know, I wouldn't cite the chain itself as the source!! And does this mean Little Caeser's is carry-out only?! Hillsboro 18:55, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

There was at least one Ontario location at some point that had full dining-room style facilties, most likely because the chain picked up some locations from the former Mothers regional pizza/italian-food chain. Not sure what still exists of this. Certainly the majority of these stores are carry-out pizza stands only.

I added a source that states a research firm estimates it to be the fourth-largest chain in the United States. -newkai t-c 21:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Historic Corner Reference

I am adding a little biline of how the original Little Caesars restaurant was built on the very same corner as the Original K-Mart.

That is not a true statement. The original Little Caesars is still in operation at Cherryhill and Venoy in Garden City, Michigan.

The original Kmart is also still in operation at Ford Rd and Middlebelt also in Garden City, Michigan.

You are correct. Does anyone know who the Pizza makers were at the first site between 1959 and 1965? Was there one by the name of Pat? A heavy guy.

[edit] Little Caesars Perth

There is a pizza store operating under the name of Little Caesars in Mundaring, on the outskirts of Perth, Western Australia. Is there any information as to whether this store is affiliated with the main franchise, or possibly if this local store has hitherto hampered attempts by the franchise to enter the Australian market (in a similar way to Burger King opening its restaurants in Australia as Hungry Jack's)?

They're definitely not affiliated (the name is different, and the pizza isn't franchise crap). I have no idea if there's any plans for the American chain to start up in Australia, and even if they were, they'd do it in the eastern states, not the west. 124.169.84.140 (talk) 12:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Little Caesar's in Perth would already be operating under a business name and therefore the American company would not be able to use the name, at least in Western Australia and probably in the whole country. But who knows! If the american company was established in the 50s, then perhaps they would be able to pull it off, since the Perth one was established in the 90s. 144.139.121.190 (talk) 14:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citing Sources

This article seems to state many claims that aren't sourced(anything that says "Little Ceasers is most famous for...", and the claims of expansion. Most of the article comes across as speculation rather than research.

[edit] Added advert template

This article, as has been mentioned a few times already, fails to cite its resources, has a decidedly un-neutral tone, and seems to have been subject to a fair bit of correction of its claims. The advert template is appropriate here I think. 72.177.15.157 01:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion?

I feel like there isn't enough elaboration on Little Caesars' history. Maybe we need to expand on this? 76.240.197.39 (talk) 22:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
