[edit] History

On November 7, 2006, the Wall Street Journal reported that a group of investors, including founders Sullivan, Basham, and Gannon, have reached an agreement to buy OSI for about $3 billion. However, OSI directors intend to look for better offers before finalizing the deal. Outback, along with other mid-priced restaurant chains, have suffered from increasing gasoline prices and dated facilities.
