Eight-time NFL Pro Bowl defensive end Cam Jordan is trading in his cleats for pizza boxes. The New Orleans Saints star has partnered with franchisees Andrew Feghali and Michael Khalil to acquire several Little Caesars locations, according to a press release.

The investment marks Jordan's first venture into restaurant franchising. The NFL standout has been a familiar face in Little Caesars commercials and a longtime fan of the pizza chain, growing up in Chandler, Arizona.

"I am excited to announce my partnership with Little Caesars as a franchise investor," Jordan said in the press release. "This collaboration aligns perfectly with my commitment to community, entrepreneurship, and fostering growth opportunities. I am thrilled to join a business that has had such a longstanding impact in my life."

Feghali, founder and CEO of AMF Restaurants, is a seasoned Little Caesars franchisee with nearly 15 years of experience. He connected Jordan with the brand after the athlete expressed interest in deepening his relationship with the company.

"Little Caesars is thrilled to welcome Cam Jordan as the newest partner in our franchise family. Cam's deep connection with the brand, along with his commitment to the communities we serve, makes him an ideal partner as we continue to expand our presence. Together with Andrew Feghali and Michael Khalil, we are confident that Cam will bring his passion and leadership to these new locations, helping us deliver even more value and satisfaction to our customers," Greg Hamilton, CMO of Little Caesars, said in the press release.

Feghali echoed the sentiment, adding, "Cam is our ideal partner; we both share a deep passion for the Little Caesars brand and a strong commitment to serving our communities. I am thrilled to welcome him aboard as we continue to grow our footprint with Little Caesars."

Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, Little Caesars has restaurants in each of the 50 U.S. states and 28 countries and territories.
