Denny's Opened New Location on Telegraph Road in Ventura a Few Months Ago
/
A rare moment indeed. A brand spanking new Denny’s recently opened in Ventura at 4095 Telegraph Road (cross street Ashwood) in what was previously a Coco’s that closed in Aprll 2015.
It’s not often that an older restaurant opens a new location like this. Kudos to Denny’s. www.dennys.com
About Denny’s (why not):
Harold Butler and Richard Jezak opened a donut stand in Lakewood, California in 1953 and called it Danny’s Donuts. Butler’s stated promise was “To serve the best cup of coffee, make the best donuts, give the best service, offer the best value and stay open 24 hours a day.”
After Jezak’s departure from the now 6-store chain, Butler created and changed the concept a year later from a donut shop to a coffee shop with store #8. Danny’s Donuts is renamed Danny’s Coffee Shops and changes its operation to 24 hours in 1956.
In 1956, Butler changed the name to Denny’s Coffee Shops to avoid confusion with Coffee Dan’s in Los Angeles. Denny’s Coffee Shops became Denny’s in 1961.
The “Grand Slam” was introduced in Atlanta in 1977 in homage to Hank Aaron.
Today there are over 1,700 locations worldwide.
