The Ilitch name is synonymous with Detroit, and the Ilitch family’s impact has rippled across Michigan and echoes around the world. What began with a dream and one small Little Caesar’s restaurant, grew into a multifaceted business empire, encompassing the Detroit Tigers, the Red Wings, Fox Theatre, Olympia Entertainment and so much more. Denise Ilitch, the eldest of Mike and Marian’s seven children, has taken to heart the lessons she learned from her parents and has been an integral player in Detroit’s business and philanthropic communities for over 40 years. She is a dedicated business leader, a devoted community servant, a supporter of charitable causes, and a tireless advocate for women and children. Denise exudes the qualities she heralds, such as kindness, humility, and a strong work ethic. In this episode, Denise recalls memorable moments in her life... everything from her first job at Little Caesar's at age 14 to the excitement of drafting Steve Yzerman shortly after taking ownership of the Red Wings. She just might inspire you to confidently contribute to the world around you, leaving it a better place... much like she has. Rochester Hills IS Innovative by Nature and the "Preeminent Place to Live, Work and Raise a Family."
