Darden Restaurants, Inc. Company Profile
This company has cornered not one but two dining markets: seafood and "Hospitaliano." Darden Restaurants is the #1 casual-dining operator (in terms of revenue), with more than 1,770 restaurants in the US and Canada. Its flagship chains include seafood-segment leader Red Lobster and top Italian-themed concept Olive Garden. Both chains cater to families, with mid-priced menu items, themed interiors, and primarily suburban locations. Darden also operates the LongHorn Steakhouse chain, with more than 320 outlets. In addition, the company operates a small chain of tropical-themed Bahama Breeze restaurants that offer Caribbean-inspired food, along with a casual grill and wine bar concept called Seasons 52.
