Frequently Asked Questions
Is Little Caesars growing or shrinking?
Little Caesars's SBA loan count grew +25% year-over-year, suggesting rising financed expansion. This reflects SBA-backed financing activity, not necessarily total unit count -- see the methodology page for what this does and doesn't measure.
How much does it cost to open a Little Caesars franchise?
We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $741K (77% above the typical Restaurants & Food brand's $419K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for Little Caesars?
2 of 150 SBA loans to Little Caesars franchisees (1.3%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 1.3% across all Restaurants & Food brands.
