Houlihan's Franchise

Full-service restaurant

NO LONGER FRANCHISING If this is a mistake please contact our Franchise Support for update.


Houlihan's has been known for exceptional food at an affordable price since we entered the casual dining segment in 1972. Our menu features a great mix of contemporary pop American cooking - classic dishes reinvented in a fresh modern way and brought to the table with simple, stylish plating and presentations.

And then there's the bar. It's always the best place to feel the great energy of Houlihan's. Our bar strategy unites pop culture, trendy premium brands, the newest drinks and vendor insights for a winning combination, resulting in an enviable liquor mix.


To help us more quickly expand to new markets and
trade areas, Houlihan's is seeking sophisticated restaurant operators with
experience building out entire markets. At this time, we are not
pursuing single-site franchise agreements.


Our ideal candidate to become a franchise market
developer is a successful full-service, multi-unit operator with
expertise in one or more large markets (e.g. the top 75 MSAs in the
United States). We are seeking entrepreneurial organizations that can
thrive in our flexible franchise environment, while having access to
growth capital and capital reserves, but experiencing growth constraints
with their current restaurant concept(s).



It's time to give yourself permission to build your days around what's important to you! You're in Control!
