Sebastopol accidentally approved a Little Caesars despite a ban on chain stores, sparking local backlash.
In November 2025, Sebastopol, California, accidentally approved a Little Caesars location in its downtown area, violating a 2018 ban on large chain businesses.
The approval, due to a procedural error, came after construction had already begun, making reversal impossible.
The mistake sparked backlash from local business owners and residents who value the town’s small, independent character.
While some residents welcomed the affordable option, others expressed disappointment over the contradiction between policy and practice.
City officials acknowledged the error, implemented new safeguards, and noted that other major chains have previously failed in the area.
