Denny’s Corporation, America’s largest full-service family restaurant chain, recently
announced the opening of its 1600th restaurant in the United States. The new restaurant is in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This new unit is a Flying J conversion owned by franchisee Ken Herslip of LaMore Restaurant Group, LLC. With the opening of this restaurant, Denny’s has crossed a significant milestone and achieved the top notch in terms of locations in the family-restaurant segment.
The company’s recent unit growth is the result of an ongoing multi-year transformation program at Denny’s to re-energize the brand name and augment business performance. Denny’s is focused on a franchise-driven operating model and its Franchise Growth Initiative continues to transition company-owned stores to franchisees and spur additional unit growth.
