Little Caesars has partnered with Michigan State University. The brand officially debuted at Spartan Stadium for the Spartans' season-opening football game on August 29, and will operate restaurants across all three of the university's major sports venues, including Munn Ice Arena and Breslin Center.

Seasoned Little Caesars franchisee, Derek Turowski will operate all of the restaurants across the venues, according to a company press release.

"As an alumnus of MSU, I am proud to expand Little Caesars into the campus and bring quality pizza to all green-and-white fans," Turowski said in the press release. "The brand has given me an incredible opportunity to grow as an entrepreneur and continue to build my portfolio in Michigan. Operating these new restaurants is another step in that journey, and I look forward to serving even more communities across the state."

Bryan Ketelhut, VP of franchising and business development, said the partnership is a natural fit for Little Caesars.

"As a Michigan-based brand, we're excited to connect with the Spartan community and bring our pizza to fans across all three MSU stadiums," Ketelhut said in the press release. "This partnership reflects our commitment to growing in key markets while delivering the quality, value and convenience fans know and love."

Little Caesars has restaurants in each of the 50 states and 30 countries and territories.
