Little Ceasars opened this week!

Jojo,

It's not so much of "not what they are used to" as LC has been available on the island for years, but an affordable nearby option to quickly feed the family... Many people were getting the "family" options which include drinks and a side or two.

Rob, I hear that, but look how wildly popular KFC is , and that is more expensive than a lot of chicken options...…..they just need a White Castle now...…. ( grin )

Jojo,

Exactly! Regarding KFC, they have been in Jamaica since 1975. Obviously their popularity isn't due to it's "not what they are used to". Generations of Jamaicns have grown up with it and it has become a "staple" on the island. It is more expensive than other options but it is still popular!

Little Ceasars has been on the island for going on three years now. And like KFC, they seem to be providing something that the locals can enjoy, but at an affordable price. Like KFC, they are a locally owned franchise that employees workers, contributes to the economy and provides a taste that families like! Not bad for 3 years...

In the future, say 40 years from now, if LC becomes something generations have grown up with and continue to enjoy, then it may become an "institution" in Jamaica like KFC. Only time will tell...

What most Jamaicans look upon as "progress" getting fast food chains on the island, some tourists think of as a negative. I don't necessarily like having them there (as it reminds me too much of where I live) but Jamaicans want the options and variety they represent. I have the right to ignore them while in Jamaica just like I do when I am here in Florida.

If a good number of tourists could have native women walking on the beach bare-breasted and paying for a room with strings of wampum, they would opt in. (Me included )

Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny and in the name of God

And you can see them there on Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about what it's like up there
They called it paradise, I don't know why
You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye
