Little Caesars has filed suit against forty franchisees for using non-conforming ingredients at their Little Caesars restaurants. The complaint alleges trademark infringement, trademark infringement and breach of contract. The franchisee association claims that the lawsuit is nothing more than Little Caesars retaliation against franchisees who refuse to purchase product from the franchisor's distributorship. A copy of the complaint is available here.
