World’s largest privately owned pizza chain is partnering with top NFL talent and focusing on giving back to communities
With two years under its belt as the Official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL, Little Caesars is gearing up for the 2024 season with a playbook filled with fan-centered promotions, delicious pizza and incredible value.
To kick off this NFL season, Little Caesars will celebrate its fans by making all deliveries totally fee-free.

The free delivery promotion will run until September 15.
“We are so excited to build on the momentum from the last two years of this partnership, starting with offering free delivery once again for start of the season, helping football fans and pizza lovers make the most of their gameday experience,” said Greg Hamilton, chief marketing officer at Little Caesars. “Little Caesars has always been the value leader in the pizza space, and our partnership with the NFL has been incredibly successful in bringing that value to even more fans. As football and pizza are a perfect match, we’re excited to offer free delivery once again this season, making it easier for football fans and pizza lovers to enjoy the game with their favorite Little Caesars pizza.”
In its third year, Little Caesars is also bringing back the popular Pizza!Pizza!® Pregame, a fan-favorite tradition.

Pregame kicks off on September 5, allowing guests to participate by by joining Little Caesars Challenges on gamedays and ordering their favorite pizzas and more!
To further elevate excitement, Little Caesars is building a dream team by partnering with San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, among others, to star in a series of commercials centering around Little Caesars role as the Official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL. Also, through Little Caesars longstanding partnership with Pepsi, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will have a leading role in commercials later this season.

Participating teams include the Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers.

As part of the game plan, the Little Caesars® Love Kitchen®, a restaurant on wheels, will be rolling into key NFL event cities throughout the year. Teaming up with the league, they’ll serve up pizza to communities in need, continuing their tradition of making a difference off the field.
The first serving will celebrate the start of the 2024 regular season in the home of Super Bowl LVIII Champions the Kansas City Chiefs on September 5th. Partnering with Downtown Council of Kansas City’s community services center The Beehive and NourishKC’s Kansas City Community Kitchen, pizza will be served to more than 700 people.

Ilitch Companies Foundation Continues its Support of Local Non-Profit Groups
August 29, 2024
During an August 24 celebration in The District Detroit, three Detroit-based non-profit organizations making a positive impact in the city each received $100,000 from the Ilitch Companies Foundation. This year’s beneficiaries were:
In expressing gratitude for the support, David Sampson, CEO of Mariners Inn said that “In the field that we’re in, we have to apply for grants every single year to make sure the operations continue. So, when you can be gracious enough and grateful enough and lucky enough to receive these types of contributions, it tells us that people still believe in us and helps us to do the work that we need to do.”
“We wouldn’t be where we are without the community,” said Marie Madison-Patton, co-director and chief operating officer of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. “We’re there to serve the people of Detroit, and without them, we wouldn’t be where we are.”
Coleman A. Young Foundation Executive Director Khary Turner said, “The Ilitch Companies Foundation gift allows us to grow the Coleman Young statue initiative. The more community members we can get excited about this campaign and wrap their arms and their resources around it, the more scholarships we’re able to give to Detroit youth.”
The August 24th evening event allowed guests to learn more about community organizations as they mingled throughout the pedestrian-friendly Columbia Street and the historic Fox Theatre, sampling food from area restaurants, enjoying live entertainment, and more.
“It’s important for folks to come together from our business community, from government, from other philanthropic organizations to make sure our youth have a chance, that all of our residents here in Detroit have a chance,” said Detroit City Council Member, Fred Durhal III.
“Tonight is the opportunity to celebrate those who are champions, who come together to do so much for our community.”
On Monday, August 26, the 16th annual Celebrity Golf Classic hosted by Ilitch Companies Foundation further supported community fundraising efforts.
“The Ilitch organization has called Detroit home for decades, and thanks to the unwavering vision of our CEO, Chris Ilitch, we continue to bring our partners together to make our community a better place today and in the future,” said Joshua Sanborn, director of Ilitch Companies Foundation.
Over the years, the Ilitch Companies Foundation, Ilitch Companies and its affiliates and owners have donated more than $275 million to worthy causes.
Olympia Development and Cinnaire Solutions Begin Restoration on the Historic Henry Street Apartments in The District Detroit
August 27, 2024
Marking a momentous day in The District Detroit, Olympia Development of Michigan and Cinnaire Solutions were joined on August 28 by Mayor Mike Duggan, Michigan State Housing Development Authority, Housing and Revitalization Department and other city officials to commence the restoration of Henry Street Apartments. Located in the Cass Henry Historic District, this housing complex will consist of 170 newly renovated units that both preserve history and incorporate modern design with 49% of the units at affordable rates ranging from 30% to 60% Area Median Income.
Henry Street Apartments is a first of its kind development that encompasses one city block and consists of seven buildings in total; six residential buildings and one centralized Community Center complimented by private parking and greenspace for tenants and their guests. The Community Center amenities include a business center with meeting space, fitness center, dog wash, extra laundry facilities, package reception and a leasing office.
“We are committed to improving the lives of people in Detroit,” said Keith Bradford, President of Olympia Development of Michigan and The District Detroit. “We are deeply grateful for our partners on this project and the partnership with the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan for making this possible. This development will transform the Cass Henry Historic District and further foster community.”
Henry Street Apartments is an $80 million public-private partnership and a historic restoration project that includes critical funding from the State of Michigan and the City of Detroit in addition to Olympia Development’s investment and Cinnaire’s contributions.
“This isn’t just any project. It is partnership and vision at its finest and wouldn’t have been possible without Michigan State Housing Development Authority, the City of Detroit, MSF and all the other critical partners represented here today,” said Cinnaire President Mark McDaniel. “One of the features that makes this development especially unique is the Ralston Commons, a community where residents can gather to receive services, to celebrate and to engage.”
This project was made possible through loans from Comerica Bank and Bank of America, along with Low-Income Housing Tax Credits from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, American Rescue Plan Act funding from the City of Detroit, and HOME funds from the city and the state, Michigan Community Revitalization Program funding from the Michigan Strategic Fund administered by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, and ARPA funding from State of Michigan Labor and Economic Opportunity office.
Julie Schneider, Director of the Housing and Revitalization Department at the City of Detroit, said “We are thrilled to witness the groundbreaking of the Henry Street Apartments, a transformative project that embodies our commitment to revitalizing Detroit’s historic neighborhoods while addressing the critical need for affordable housing. This initiative represents a significant stride towards enhancing our city’s fabric, providing quality homes for a diverse range of residents, and preserving the architectural heritage that makes Detroit unique. Our collaboration with Cinnaire Solutions, Olympia Development, and various state and local partners highlights the power of public-private partnerships in driving meaningful progress and creating vibrant communities.”
The first of the seven buildings is expected to be completed in the spring of 2026. Neumann/Smith Architecture is the Designer and Architect-of-Record for the Henry Street restoration. O’Brien Construction, which also led the work on the historic Eddystone residences, is the construction manager. The properties will be managed by Elite Property Management.
Olympia Development of Michigan, an Ilitch company, is a real estate development firm dedicated to improving the lives of people who live, work, and play in Detroit and beyond. Through catalytic developments, innovative design and construction and inclusive placemaking, Olympia Development continues to create jobs, produce needed housing and attract business to Detroit while continuing to expand the city’s world-class sports and entertainment destination, The District Detroit. Other recent housing projects include restoration of the Eddystone residences, the Residences @150 Bagley in partnership with Bagley Development Group, 2525 Woodward Avenue, 52 Henry Street and 64 Edmund Place led by Edmund Place Partners, along with commercial development including Little Caesars Arena, 2715 Woodward Avenue, Little Caesars Global Headquarters and Columbia Street.

Since 1993, Cinnaire has invested $6.3 billion to develop more than 1,100 housing communities in nine states, providing 69,000 affordable apartment homes for more than 149,000 individuals and families and has provided community development loans to support the creation/retention of commercial, mixed-use, and community space.
