In 1984 California Dreaming - The Restaurant and Bar at Union Station opened in Columbia, South Carolina. This began the family of 15 restaurants now operated by CentraArchy Restaurant Management Company, with three more currently on the drawing board and gradual expansion planned thereafter. While each restaurant is separately owned and most are different concepts, CentraArchy manages each unit with one simple Mission Statement: "To operate unique restaurants where our people are able to create a dining experience that exceeds our guests' expectations and, in so doing, achieve the highest potential in their food service careers."
