Little Caesars interior
Little Caesars
15482 Warwick Boulevard, Suite A2, Newport News, VA
Opened October 9th, 2020; originally part of Twin B Auto Parts (August 1988-1994), later Dairy Queen (September 16th, 1995-April 2017)
After only a year spent operating in the Hidenwood area, Tidewater Pie decided to move this Little Caesars further up Warwick Boulevard near Denbigh and the Fort Eustis base, taking over the old Dairy Queen space (at least half of it, since I can't tell how they're utilizing the left part of the building with covered windows). The decision seems solely based on the fact that the building has a drive-thru, which I guess wasn't a huge deal breaker when they originally opened in the old florist shop last year but is vital now that you have a lot of customers unwilling to go inside certain businesses. After all, this part of Newport News didn't necessarily need a Little Caesars, as the unaffiliated Jefferson Crossing location already has 'em covered, but even then the pizza chain had a location right across the street from here in the old Rack & Sack shopping center back in the 90s, so it's sort of a return! Also, this new location is directly next to Chanello's, which is a total non-issue because an employee there actually came here to pick up lunch during my visit!
