Denny's (DFO, LLC)

Denny's is a classic American diner chain that has been serving quality food and generous portions at fair prices since 1953. With a commitment to being "Open"—welcoming all people, appetites, and budgets—Denny's operates over 1,400 restaurants across the United States and internationally.

The menu at Denny's features a wide array of options, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert items, all available around the clock. Signature dishes like the Grand Slam breakfast have become iconic, offering a hearty start to the day.

In 2022, Denny's expanded its offerings by acquiring Keke's Breakfast Cafe, introducing a new dimension to their breakfast menu.

Strategic Changes

In recent years, Denny's has undertaken strategic changes to enhance its operations. In October 2024, the company announced plans to close 150 underperforming restaurants by the end of 2025.

This closure targets locations that are too old to remodel or situated in unprofitable areas.

Despite these closures, Denny's continues to prioritize customer satisfaction and community engagement, maintaining its reputation as a welcoming and reliable dining destination.
