Long John Silver's Long John Silver's

 


Long John Silver's Franchise Information:

Long John Silver's® is America's largest quick-service seafood chain with more than 1,200 units worldwide. The first Long John Silver's Fish 'n' Chips opened in 1969 in response to growing consumer demand for quick-service seafood. This new approach gained overwhelming acceptance and has led to bold modern restaurants and a menu that meets the taste of today's consumers.

As the concept has grown, Long John Silver's menu has likewise evolved. Today, we offer a menu that meets the desire of consumers looking for more variety and great taste. Our exciting array of flavor profiles and taste sensations includes a variety of signature batter-dipped fish, chicken, and seafood; breaded fish; a signature sandwich line; salads and desserts.

Our promise, to provide each guest great tasting, reasonably priced fish, chicken and seafood in a fast and friendly manner on every visit ensures Long John Silver's position in American Culture.

In May 2002 Long John Silver's became a part of YUM! Brands Inc, the world's largest restaurant company in terms of system units with nearly 32,500 in more than 100 countries and territories. Yum! Brands also owns A&W All-American Food Restaurants, KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants.

In fact, we are looking for a three-store commitment over a three-year period. If you're one of these people, have a look at the following criteria to see if Yum! is right for you:
  • Do you have capital to grow?

Yum! Brand, the leader in Multibranding, is looking for energetic new franchisees to share in our purpose and passion for Customer Mania by putting a Yum! on customers' faces around the world.

Yum! believes Multibranding is the key to the future of the QSR business. Owning more than one brand allows you to "eliminate the veto vote" and give your consumers a "WOW" experience. Research shows that consumers prefer Multibrand restaurants six to one over single brands.
