Overview
We opened our first 24-hour restaurant in April of 1964. In 1966, we began activelyfranchising. The company now expands primarily through franchising,
but also continues to operate company units. The combined organization
has continued to expand and today encompasses more than 400 units
throughout the traditional South and new development areas opening in
the Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West and the Southwestern United States.
Our growth is fueled by the success of our franchise owners. The steady growth of units has consistently increased the system-wide revenues generated by all Huddle House System restaurants each fiscal year, adding to an already strong foundation of customer support and goodwill associated with the system.

Are You a Good Fit for Huddle House?
How to develop and operate your restaurants - Two Options- Single Restaurant Development: We award franchises in select markets to qualified individuals, corporations and partnerships at a single specific location to use our trademarks, service marks and proprietary operating systems.
- Market Development Agreements: If you have the financial capabilities and the experience, we will consider a Market Development Agreement for new franchisees entering the system. A Market Development Agreement would grant you an exclusive territory within which to develop and operate multiple Huddle House restaurants over a specified period of time.
How to build your restaurants - Two Options
- Own your own real estate: If you have the resources, we encourage our franchisees to own their own real estate. You can build a Huddle House on land you already own, or identify and buy your own piece of land. You can be your own landlord. We have many lenders that are interested in financing new Huddle House restaurants. If you qualify for SBA financing, we have lenders that will finance 80% of the total cost of your investment including the franchise fee and working capital.
- Build to Suit: If you have a lot of experience but little cash, you can use our Build to Suit format and be a franchisee for as little as $76,000 in liquidity.
