The Fazoli's concept was created in 1988 by Jerrico, which was then the parent company of Long John Silver’s. Two years and five restaurants later, the concept was sold to Seed Restaurant Group, Inc., based in Lexington, Kentucky. With nearly 220 restaurants, Fazoli's is America's largest Italian fast casual brand serving freshly prepared entrees, Submarinos® sandwiches, salads and pizza. One of the New York Post's five breakout fast-casual restaurants and a Fast Casual.com Brand of the Year, Fazoli's franchisees are experiencing record sales growth.
