Sizzler Corporate Office

Sizzler was founded in 1958 by Del and Helen Johnson in Culver City, California. The original name was Del’s Sizzler Family Steak House. The Johnson’s wanted to offer a full-scale restaurant type of experience, but with very low prices. To cut costs, many locations had their own butchers who cut steaks from sides of beef and ground their own hamburger meat.

After recovering from bankruptcy in 1996, the restaurant chain was down to 70 locations, down from its high of 210. The restaurant offers mainly steak, seafood, hamburgers, and salad bars.

Sizzler was sold to Pacific Equity Partners in 2005. In 2011, USA Management Group, lead by the CEO of Sizzler, purchased the company back from Pacific Equity Partners. Sizzler has locations in 6 countries and these remain owned by Pacific Equity Partners. As of 2017, the company boasts 270 restaurants, an all time high.

In-N-Out Burger Corporate Office

In-N-Out Burgers was founded in 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder in Baldwin Park, California. This restaurant was the first drive-through restaurant in California, taking orders over a speaker system. This was a unique idea at the time when most restaurants were drive-up and park, with bellhops taking customer orders.

The restaurant chain remains family owned, with the Snyder’s granddaughter being named CEO. In-N-Out Burgers has slowly expanded over the years. Today, the company has 358 locations in 7 states and Mexico. In-N-Out Burgers had $575 million in revenue in 2017.

In-N-Out Burgers is known for paying its employees more than minimum wage, as well as offering a wide variety of high quality and unusual burgers. One such burger is called Animal Style, which includes mustard grilled patties, extra pickles, and extra Thousand Island dressing.

In October 2021, the company temporarily shut down its New York locations after being warned by health officials that they needed to inspect vaccination cards before allowing patrons to dine indoors. 

That same month, the company was forced to stop allowing diners to eat indoors in San Francisco, California, for the same reason listed above. 

In April 2023, the company maintained its expansion plans and opened new locations in Tennessee. 

In-N-Out Burger maintains a corporate office in Irvine, California.

Bennigan’s Corporate Office

Bennigan’s was founded in 1976 in Virginia by Norman Brinker. The company is an Irish-pub type restaurant that features casual dining, American cuisine, and a full bar.

The company grew significantly in the 1980’s, with more than 150 corporate owned locations, 103 franchises, and some locations overseas. However, failure of the company to change and adapt to changing consumer tastes in food lead to serious problems for the chain. In 2008, the company filed for bankruptcy. All New York and New England locations were closed immediately, as well as the 150 corporate locations.

Bennigan’s was sold and restructured in 2010. Today, the company has 23 locations in 11 states, 39 locations globally. The new owners, Legendary Restaurant Brands, LLC, have plans to rebuild the chain through remodeling and improved marketing.
