One of the world's best-loved restaurants, T.G.I. Friday's is truly one of a kind. It's a worldwide bar and restaurant phenomenon—a success story that goes back 45 years with its origins in a converted beer joint on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Today, Carlson operates 924 T.G.I. Friday's in 61 countries and territories (as of Q4 2011). Our ambitious strategy for this highly innovative brand is to grow the portfolio to nearly 1,100 restaurants operating in key destinations across the globe.

In here, it's always Friday

This is what we promise our guests each and every day. In our locations around the world, they will find the excitement, anticipation and infectious energy one would expect from a Friday. A crowd around the bar. People tucked away in booths having a bit of food and fun with friends. A staff of professionals who haven't left their personalities at the door. After all, Friday isn't just a day on the calendar, it's a mindset shared by everyone at T.G.I. Friday's.
