Little Caesars expanding headquarters in Downtown Detroit

December 11, 2014

Twenty-five years after moving its headquarters from the suburbs to Detroit's Fox Office Center, Little Caesars announced it is building a new 205,000-square-foot Global Resource Center, expanding its world headquarters campus in Detroit to more than twice its current size.

According to a news release, the new Little Caesars Global Resource Center, which will be on Woodward Avenue at Columbia Street, is Detroit's first newly constructed corporate headquarters building in more than a decade and only the seventh since 1950.

The brand's owners, Ilitch Holdings, will also renovate the 186,000-square-foot Little Caesars Fox Office Center into a modern, flexible, open and collaborative workspace, the company said.

"Mike and Marian Ilitch, the founders and owners of Little Caesars Pizza, have always worked to provide the very best for our employees, our customers, our city and our state," Ilitch Holdings CEO Christopher Ilitch said in a news release. "This is another significant investment in our people, our company and our community."

Since moving to the Fox Office Center in 1989, Little Caesars has experienced growth that has led to this needed expansion. Little Caesars has locations in all 50 states and 17 international markets, and recently opened franchises in Australia and Panama with additional expansion taking.

"We are excited to provide our employees, and the next generation of our employees, with new, expanded space to meet and interact, the most modern infrastructure and technologies and world-class amenities," Little Caesars CEO David Scrivano said in the release. "This state-of-the-art headquarters campus will create a collaborative workspace that helps us continue to attract, train and retain the top talent and franchisees we need to continue our explosive growth and better serve our customers around the world."

The new Little Caesars Global Resource Center will connect to the Fox Office Center by a pedestrian bridge. Construction will begin in the spring of 2015 and is expected to be complete by the end of calendar 2016.

Anticipated features of the new building and renovated space include:

• Flagship Little Caesars Pizza store
• Auditorium
• Collaborative workspaces and meeting rooms
• State of the art training facilities for franchisees, crew and employees
• Innovation kitchens
• Green space
• Childcare facility
• Expected LEED Silver
