Denny's Franchise Disclosure Document

Denny's is a full-service restaurant chain known for breakfast, lunch, and dinner served 24/7 in many locations. It was founded in 1953 and is one of the most recognized family dining brands in the U.S. Franchisees operate large-format restaurants, often freestanding or in travel centers. The investment is significant due to kitchen, real estate, and staffing costs. Revenue comes from broad appeal and around-the-clock service, with consistent traffic from travelers and local diners. The brand offers strong national marketing and operational support.

With nearly 40,000 FDDs collected over the past 25+ years, our growing database is maintained and enriched by a dedicated information management team that ensures accuracy, completeness, and timely updates. Just as important, FRANdata understands that while FDDs offer a wealth of standardized information, they may not address every question a stakeholder has—particularly when it comes to franchise performance, operational nuances, or long-term growth potential. That's why we complement the information in FDDs with broader research and advisory capabilities, helping clients interpret what's there, understand the context, and access deeper insights when needed.
