Spaghetti Warehouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spaghetti Warehouse is an Italian restaurant geared towards families in 19 U.S. states. The chain started in 1972 in Dallas, Texas and has since spread throughout the southern and eastern parts of the United States. The location in Columbus, Ohio, which opened in 1978, is the largest both in seating capacity and in sales. The Columbus location seats approximately 800 people. Each restaurant has a real San Francisco trolley car in the dining room and patrons are able to sit in the car.

Spaghetti Warehouse, Inc, was acquired in 1998 by Consolidated Restaurant Cos. (a holding company of the private equity firm Cracken, Harkey & Co. L.L.C.)^[1]. The Old Spaghetti Factory has a very similar format.
