Card Briefs: Little Caesars Taking Amex at All Utah Sites

Little Caesars Pizza has agreed to accept American Express cards at its 41 restaurants in Utah.

The restaurant company said it had not before accepted credit cards throughout a market, for both carryout and delivery.

To promote American Express, Little Caesars will run print advertisements, use in-store signs, and send 70,000 postcards with savings coupons to Utah households.

"Consumers want the convenience of credit cards for fast-food purchases," said Denise Ilitch Lites, Little Caesars vice chairwoman. "We eventually hope to provide charge card service to consumers throughout the country."
