The Fazoli’s brand was created in 1988 by Jerrico, Inc., a multi-brand restaurant group based in Lexington, Kentucky, and then parent company of Long John Silver's restaurants. Two years and five founding restaurants later, the Italian fast food concept was sold to Seed Restaurant Group, Inc. (SRG), also based in Lexington. SRG continued to evolve the concept, adding new Italian dishes, baked pastas, Submarinos sandwiches, pizza, entree salads, desserts and garlic breadsticks. In 2006, Fazoli’s was purchased by an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners of Boca Raton, Florida. read more
