About Sizzler USA


It all began on January 27, 1958. With fifty dollars in the cash register, Del and Helen Johnson opened "Sizzler Family Steak House” in Culver City, California.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was in his second term as the 34th President of the United States. A 14-year-old Bobby Fischer took the United States Chess Championship. "Gigi” won the Academy Award for Best Picture. The American girl group The Shirelles began.

And finally, everyone could enjoy a great steak dinner at an affordable price. ($0.99 back then).

 
Mid-scale, casual dining restaurant emphasizing value, comfort and convenience. Sizzler introduced the "fast casual" service style more than 60 years ago. Today, guests order upon arriving, with their grilled-to-perfection meals delivered by servers who refill beverages, clear tableware and tend to other needs. Sizzler, which is phasing out its all-you-can-eat buffet, serves lunch and dinner.

Thank you for your interest in franchise opportunities with Dreamland Bar-B-Que Ribs. The legend of Dreamland's famous ribs has grown throughout the state of Alabama and beyond. Today our ribs are still cooked over an open hickory-fired pit in our dining room much as they have been since 1958. The demand for these incredible ribs is awe-inspiring. As a result of this demand, Dreamland is selling franchises. Single-unit and multi-unit franchises are currently available in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and the South Carolina area.Dreamland is interested in attracting only the highest caliber franchisee. We seek individuals who meet the following criteria: Exceptional business skills and operational experience, particularly in the casual dining industry; Financial strength and stability to sustain a rapid development schedule; Financial resources that meet our requirements. Typically for single-unit development, a prospective franchisee should have a minimum net worth of $750,000 excluding personal residence, with $200,000 in liquid assets (i.e., cash or marketable securities only). For multi-unit development (for example, 3 or more restaurants), we require a minimum net worth of $2.25 million with $800,000 in liquid assets.
