Little Caesars' Pizza Treats Veterans and Active Military to Free Crazy Bread' on Veterans Day

As part of a long-standing tradition of giving back and saying "thanks" to all U.S. military men and women, Little Caesars Pizza is offering all United States armed forces veterans and active military members a free order of Crazy Bread with proof of military status at participating stores nationwide this Veterans Day.

"Little Caesars is thankful to all of our veterans and active members of the military who do so much to take care of us," said Little Caesars President and CEO, David Scrivano. "This is a small token of our appreciation for the time they've served on our behalf. We hope they will enjoy an order of Crazy Bread on us and know that we are truly honored to serve them."

On Monday, Nov. 11, veterans can show their ID card or their DD-214 form, and active military members can show their current military-issued ID card that identifies their rank and branch to receive their free Crazy Bread. To find their nearest store, veterans can use the Little Caesars store locator at http://www.littlecaesars.com/Locations.aspx.

Veterans Day also marks the 7 th anniversary of the Little Caesars Veterans Program. Created in 2006, the Little Caesars Veterans Program provides honorably discharged veterans with significant discounts and credits towards opening a Little Caesars franchise. The goal is to give veterans a business opportunity when they transition to civilian life or seek a career change, and to thank them for the sacrifices they and their families have made for our country.

"As an organization, we believe that veteransthe men and women who have given so much to serve our countryshould return home with business prospects to help them achieve their hopes and dreams," said Richard Moreno, Senior Vice President of Administration & Strategic Planning. "So, we created a program to honor veterans and provide them with an opportunity to become business owners."

The Little Caesars Veterans Program has grown steadily. Since the program launched, veterans have opened more than 250 Little Caesars stores. Little Caesars believes veterans possess the integrity and character to become exemplary Little Caesars owners. Franchise opportunities are available now, and Little Caesars will be partnering with veterans for years to come.
