According to annual financial report of the Wall Street Journal, the company showed a net growth of 8.67% in its net income by the end of September 2016 that accounts to $9.7 million. While talking about its revenue growth, the increased percentage is 3.72% that amounts to $128.39 million.
The Wall Street Journal also estimates total liabilities as well as debt accounting to S351.48 million and $228.54 million respectively. Considering its tremendous growth over the years, the company emerges as a profitable entity for the investors to invest in.
How it originated?
Instigated out of the visionary guidance of Richard Jezak and Harold Butler, Denny’s came into existence in the year 1953 with the name of Danny’s Donuts at Lakewood in California. The concept further changed from donut shops to coffee shops in the year 1956 when Jezak departed from the then chain of 6-store in 1955. The resultant rename of the company became Danny’s Coffee Shop offering 24 hours services to its customers.
Furthermore, Butler changed the name to Denny’s Coffee shop in order to avoid any kind of confusion with the leading restaurant chain of Los Angeles namely Coffee Dan’s. After completion of two years, in the year 1961, Denny’s coffee shop occupied a simple name Denny’s. With continuous expansion, the company was able to open its 1000 restaurants by the end of 1981 across all fifty states of the United States.
During its reign of expansion, the company acquired various Sambo’s restaurants thereby becoming the rapidly growing chain of restaurants in the US. Initially operating its headquarters at La Mirada in California, the company further moved towards Irvine in California and further it shifted to Spartanburg in the South Carolina. The second shifting of its headquarters was the outcome of its acquisition by the renowned parent company TW Corporation (Trans World Corporation) in the year 1987.
Later in the year 1992, 47% interest of the company was acquired by a privately owned equity firm namely Kohlberg Kravis that became popular as The Flagstar Companies. The name further changed to Denny’s Corporation and began to trade under NASDAQ with the ticker symbol DENN even today.
How it operates?
Having its presence across over 1700 locations worldwide, Denny’s is constantly looking forward to expand its reach on a global platform. With a vast experience of more than 50 years in franchising, the company today operates over 90% of its full-service restaurants as franchises. Looking at such diversified and sustainable growth plan of the company, it is surely a noteworthy investment to make for the investors.
Introducing the new incentive based program for emerging markets, the company is looking for ideal properties on lease to open its new franchises globally. The minimum amount of investment that an investor need to make in becoming a share partner of the company may range between $1M and $3M.
