US Military Veteran Opens Store Under Little Caesars Veterans Program

Extra Newspaper:

Little Caesars Enterprises, Inc. today celebrates another store grand opening under the Little Caesars Veterans Program, as former United States Army Military Police Specialist E4, Richard Gubish, opens his doors for business at 1517 Easton Avenue in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

“I am excited to be a part of a strong and growing franchise system that is dedicated to helping U.S. military veterans,” said Gubish. “I look forward to offering Bethlehem residents high quality pizza at a great value that is ready when they are, with no waiting or need to call ahead.”

The Little Caesars Veterans Program was created to thank veterans for their service, and provide them with career opportunities when they transition to civilian life or seek a career change. It grants honorably discharged, non-service-disabled veterans who qualify as Little Caesars franchisees, such as Gubish, a benefit of $10,000. Honorably discharged service-disabled veterans who qualify are eligible for a benefit of up to approximately $68,000.

“With talented veterans like Richard joining the Little Caesars team, the Little Caesars Veterans Program continues to grow and give veterans business ownership opportunities,” said David Scrivano, president, Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc. “The skills Richard developed in the military such as teamwork, dedication and a familiarity with processes will help him become an effective Little Caesars franchisee.”

Joining the United States Army immediately after high school, Gubish served from 1986 to 1990. He transitioned into civilian life as a city bus driver and a small retail business operator in Bethlehem. Gubish learned about the Little Caesars Veteran Program through his brother, a former manager of a Little Caesars restaurant. Gubish was impressed with the commitment the organization has towards sharing its proven processes through a six-week training program for franchisees.
