under the name Jerrico Inc.
In 1989, senior management
and a New York investment firm acquired Jerrico and its subsidiaries in
a leveraged buyout. A year later, the new, privately held company divested
itself of three other restaurant concepts to devote its full resources
to the operation of Long John Silver's.It is now known exclusively by
its popular branded name, Long John Silver's Restaurants Inc. |

In 1999, the
company merged with A&W Restaurants, which resulted in the creation
of Yorkshire Global Restaurants. The combined companies operate
more than 2,270 restaurants in 47 states and 22 countries with combined
sales in excess of $1.1 billion.
In fiscal 1998,
the company had system-wide sales of nearly $800 million‚ approximately
sixty percent of the nation's estimated $1.4 billion quick-service
seafood business.
