Guatemala Marks the 13th Country in Denny’s
Global Portfolio
Denny's Corporation (NASDAQ:DENN), one of the world's largest
full-service family dining chains, today announced the opening of
its first restaurant in Guatemala located on Liberacion Blvd. near
the airport. The new restaurant is owned and operated by
Honduras-based franchisee, Comidas Especializadas S. de R.L., led
by experienced franchisee Mr. Roberto Larach, an existing Denny’s
franchise partner. This newest location in Guatemala marks the 13th
country in Denny’s global portfolio.
“We’re excited to continue the growth of the Denny’s brand
internationally and execute on our goal of being the world’s
largest, most admired and beloved family of local restaurants,”
stated John Miller, Denny’s President and CEO. “Mr. Larach and his
group are incredible brand ambassadors in Central America and have
built a strong following for Denny’s.”
Comidas Especializadas S. de R.L. is an experienced franchise
group that currently operates five Denny’s restaurants in Honduras
and one in El Salvador. The new Guatemala restaurant marks the
seventh restaurant of 10 or more the group plans to open in the
region. In addition to Denny’s restaurants, Comidas Especializadas
S. de R.L. currently operates 60 Pizza Hut locations and 15 KFC
restaurants in Honduras.
“For years, we have been bringing American restaurant concepts
to Central America and are thrilled to share Denny’s with the
residents and visitors of Guatemala,” said Mr. Larach, franchisee
for Denny’s. “Denny's is an outstanding brand, with a great menu
and a business model like no other brand in the industry. With
restaurants in Honduras and El Salvador, Guatemala was the natural
next step in our plan to bring the brand to more guests in the
region.”
Steve Dunn, Denny's Senior Vice President & Chief Global
Development Officer, added, "Denny’s is one of the fastest growing
family-dining chains across the globe and it is very exciting to
