TGI Fridays

TGI Fridays is a global American casual dining restaurant chain known for its social atmosphere and iconic red-and-white striped branding. Founded in 1965 in New York City, the company specializes in American bar food, appetizers, and a comprehensive cocktail program. Beyond its physical restaurant locations, the brand maintains a significant retail presence through licensed frozen foods and beverage mixers sold in grocery stores. In late 2024, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to facilitate a financial restructuring of its operations. The brand continues to operate hundreds of locations across the United States and in international markets through various franchise agreements.
