A second Little Caesars is headed to Georgetown, with plans to open inside a new retail center at 3920 Williams Dr., Suite 107, inside the Deer Haven Commercial development. The move would give franchisee Rishad Rajabali two locations of the Hot-N-Ready pizza chain in the same fast-growing Central Texas city, just months after he finished reviving his fire-damaged downtown store.
According to WhatNow Austin, the Rajabali Group will operate the new Deer Haven location, and an opening timeline had not been confirmed by Rajabali before press time. Rajabali serves as president and CEO of the Rajabali Group and already runs a Little Caesars in downtown Georgetown, so the Williams Drive shop would mark his second in the city.
The new spot will slide into a retail strip that has quickly filled up since it was completed in 2025. Known as William's Landing, the 100%-leased Class A development already counts an Einstein Bros. Bagels, a FIFTY/50 Pilates studio, and Roosters Paint Center among its tenants, per the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce.
A Corridor Built for Drive-Thru Traffic
Williams Drive is one of Georgetown's busiest commercial and commuter routes, with daily traffic volumes exceeding 30,584 vehicles near the development site, according to a Crexi listing for the property. That kind of drive-by exposure, combined with nearby residential growth, has made the stretch a magnet for retail franchises looking to plant a flag.
Little Caesars will lean on its familiar carryout menu at the new location, offering pepperoni and cheese pizzas, pretzel crust and thin and crispy options, deep-dish pies, specialty pizzas, and Crazy Bread. The chain's Hot-N-Ready model lets customers walk in and pick up a pizza without waiting, a business model the company has used to build its national footprint since it was founded in Detroit in 1959 by Mike and Marian Ilitch. Little Caesars is now the third-largest pizza chain in the United States, with more than 4,000 locations across all 50 states and more than 25 countries, and it continues expanding across Texas.
Downtown Store's Long Road Back From Fire
Rajabali's push into a second Georgetown store follows a difficult stretch for his original location. The downtown Georgetown Little Caesars at 101 East University Avenue closed because of a fire and had been shuttered for nearly three years before reopening in June 2025, with a formal grand reopening celebration held on September 20, 2025, according to Patch. Rajabali also opened a Little Caesars in Arlington in October 2025, a 950-square-foot store that created 10 new local jobs, per the same outlet's coverage of that grand opening.
Georgetown's Population Boom Fuels Retail Race
The timing lines up with Georgetown's rapid growth. U.S. Census Bureau estimates published in May 2025 showed the city's population climbed 4.76% in a single year to reach 101,344 residents in 2024, an increase of nearly 47.5% since 2020, as Community Impact reported. Georgetown had already been ranked the nation's fastest-growing city with more than 50,000 residents for three consecutive years before crossing the 100,000 mark.
Williamson County as a whole is projected to reach 1.6 million residents by 2050, a forecast that has pushed TxDOT and local officials to pursue major road capacity upgrades throughout the corridor, according to county growth data. The county added nearly 25,000 residents between 2023 and 2024 alone, a pace of growth that helps explain why national and regional chains keep circling Williams Drive.
Little Caesars will not be the only newcomer on that stretch. Hoodline has reported on a planned $4.5 million Chick-fil-A at 4631 Williams Drive, a 5,071-square-foot restaurant with a drive-thru slated for completion in late 2026. Texas is already Chick-fil-A's largest state market, with more than 500 locations. Georgetown has also seen construction begin on a Texas Roadhouse near I-35, part of a broader wave of national dining chains staking claims across the city as its population keeps climbing.
