Denny's

Denny's (also known as Denny's Diner on some locations' signage) is an American table service diner-style restaurant chain. It operates over 1,400 restaurants in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and several other international locations.

Founded in 1953 with a donut stand in Lakewood, California, under the name Danny's Donuts, the chain has grown to one of the largest full-service family restaurant chains in the United States. In January 2026, it was acquired by TriArtisan Capital Advisors, Treville Capital Group, and Yadav Enterprises.

In 2025, Denny's closed 150 underperforming, unprofitable locations due to rising operating costs and declining customer traffic.
