CRAZY COMBO COUPON
    HOW IT ALL BEGAN
    Mike and Marian Ilitch opened their first Little Caesars restaurant in Garden City, Michigan.

Mike Ilitch was on another career path as a talented shortstop, with the Detroit Tigers farm team. When his teammates would be looking for the local
     
  ballpark, Mike would be eyeing the local pizza joint.
Pizza was clearly in his blood.

An injury prompted Mike to
trade in his baseball glove for
hot pads.		  

 

It was an exciting time for Mike and Marian Ilitch as they worked together toward that grand opening day of May 8, 1959.
