From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carrows is a chain of casual dining restaurants operating in the western portion of the United States. As of 2004, the chain operates over 100 restaurants, mostly in California and with locations in New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.

Carrows was started by David G. Nancarrow in Santa Clara, California in 1970 as the Carrows Hickory Chip Restaurant. Carrows and its sister chain Coco's Bakery Restaurants were purchased by Advantica Restaurant Group in 1996. In 2002 they were aquired by Catalina Restaurant Group, Inc.

In California, Carrows/Coco's Bakery competes directly with Marie Callender's and Bakers Square restaurants.
