The first TGI Fridays opened in Manhattan in 1965. The location which was located on the East side at First Avenue and 63rd Street quickly became a popular meeting place for singles. According to the company website under their history category, that location earned revenue totaling $1 million in its first year. The traditional red and white stripes remain as a standard theme but various TGI Fridays are set up with their own unique and modern features.

TGI Fridays is world famous for their signature drinks and appetizers as well as specialty entrees. In 1974 after months in the test kitchen they made the debut of their still popular loaded potato skins. They are also famous for trying new menu items. Currently they have an appetizer that sound different but is actually kind of good. Their fried string beans were a different twist on fried appetizers.

In 1975, the company was acquired by Carlson Companies, Inc. Today TGI Fridays is owned and operated by Carlson Restaurants Worldwide. In 2007, they opened their 600th restaurant in the United States and they have 300 International locations as of 2007.

They constantly create unique menu options that fit a need. Their current Right Portion, Right Price gives you the option to pick entrees that are just the right size for your pocket and your stomach.
