The global chain that Little Caesars is today began with a blind date between Mike Ilitch and Marian Bayoff that was arranged by Mike’s father in 1954. Within just a matter of months, the couple was married. We continue to be a family owned business that believes in hard work, having fun and making it so every family can afford pizza night.
