Detroit-based Little Caesars has signed franchise development agreements with two different franchisees that will add 15 new locations across two of the brand’s target markets — Boston and Chicago.
Pritpal Bains and Haranchal Bains, who have operated Little Caesars restaurants in California since 1999, are planning to establish five new locations throughout Boston by 2027.
Karim Khowaja and Sanjeev Khatau, who have more than 40 years of combined experience in restaurant franchising, are acquiring two existing Little Caesars locations in Chicago. They plan to open 10 additional restaurants in the city. The pair operates nearly 100 quick-service concepts in Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and California.
“As our expansion gains momentum nationwide, we are eager to build upon our partnerships with experienced multi-unit operators like Pritpal and Haranchal, while developing new relationships with industry veterans like Karim and Sanjeev,” says Jeremy Vitaro, chief development officer at Little Caesars.
The pizza chain is amplifying its expansion into major cities, including its recent commitment to establish 100 new locations in New York City and the Tri-State region.
The brand is pursuing operating partners to help propel development efforts in targeted markets nationwide. Little Caesars offers franchisees a convenience-driven business model and a proven concept that keeps operating costs low and margins high, the company says.
Multi-unit franchising opportunities remain in regions across the U.S., according to Little Caesars, including the Northeast and Pacific Northwest. It’s franchising also offers incentive programs available for veterans and first responders.
