North Sun Energy signs franchise agreement with Little Caesars
Little Caesars announced that it has signed what it says is its largest franchise agreement in Canada with North Sun Energy, a fuel and convenience retailer in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
This agreement will see North Sun Energy bring Little Caesars to 18 of its gas stations and convenience stores.
"With the increasing demand for fresh and delicious meals at our locations, Little Caesars stood out as an ideal brand to collaborate with," said David Button, president of North Sun Energy. "Their value-driven approach amid high inflation rates and strong brand recognition aligns perfectly with our vision of enriching the fuel and convenience experience. We look forward to celebrating the inaugural grand opening later this summer at the North Atlantic and Orangestore location in Clarenville, NL, marking the first of many new Little Caesars locations planned across our network in the months and years ahead."

North Sun Energy is integrating the Little Caesars Express restaurant model, which is designed to operate in as little as 450 square feet and requires no more than two employees at a time. The new locations will be integrated into several existing Orangestores—North Sun Energy's convenience store brand—along with a number of gas and convenience site remodels and new buildouts.
"This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our growth strategy as we continue expanding across Canada," said Chloe Battalia, managing director, Canada at Little Caesars. "Our relationship with North Sun Energy exemplifies the kind of strategic alignment that enables us to bring Little Caesars to more non-traditional formats. By leveraging relationships like this, we're positioning the brand for long-term success and making our HOT-N-READY product offerings even more accessible to guests wherever their day takes them."
