About Us
New York City, 1965. A New York City perfume salesman named Alan Stillman walks into a bar located at First Avenue and 63rd Street. His idea was to attract trendy models and stewardesses into the neighborhood by jazzing up this unassuming beer joint. Single-handedly, the perfume man turns this modest location an instant success. He called it TGI FridaysSM.
Built upon a legacy of great food, inventive drinks and big fun, FridaysSM has become a favorite place for friends to congregate together and enjoy a casual dining experience. We have brought the world such famous signature items as our Loaded Potato Skins, Chicken Fingers, Buffalo Wings, our Jack Daniels Grill® and classic concoctions like the FridaysSM Freeze and the Tropicolada. The flips and spins of our ingenius flair bartending have become legendary, not to mention our wait staff’s unstoppable service and never-ending smiles. Today, we have more than 931 TGI FridaysSM in some 60 countries worldwide. And, since everyday is Friday at TGI FridaysSM that’s 6,517 FridaysSM every single week.
A guy walks into a bar. Fifty years later, the party is still going on.
