Little Caesars is estimated to be the fourth largest pizza chain in the United States. The chain was founded in 1959 by the Ilitch’s and is most famously known for its “Pizza! Pizza!” slogan. The brand has grown substantially since the 1990’s and is still continuing to rise to meets its competitors. Little Caesars is the largest carry out pizza chain in the country and is more recently well known for its Hot-N-Ready pizza promotion. Their menu is familiar and affordable and customer service is one of the brands many strengths.
Although there have been many good things happening to Little Caesars in the past decade there are still things missing from the brand. There is little to no online presence, which could potentially attract a whole new group of consumers. Little Caesars competitors are also light years ahead of them when it comes to having the company online. Competitors are at an advantage over Little Caesars when it comes to brand awareness. Although Little Caesars is a well-recognized brand, due to the lack of online presence and dated websites it can’t keep up with pizza powerhouses like Pizza Hut and Domino’s.
