A Brief History of TGI Fridays

Founded in 1965 in New York City by Alan Stillman, TGI Fridays was built on the promise that 'In Here, It’s Always Friday.' Inspired by the Barnum & Bailey Circus, it aimed to create 'the greatest show on earth,' leading to the establishment of its iconic red and white striped motif. The chain quickly became a popular venue for singles to meet and socialize, thanks to its lively ambiance and charismatic bartenders.

Expanding Horizons in Japan

The brand made its debut in Japan in 1999 when the first location opened in Shibuya. Today, TGI Fridays has expanded to 13 locations across Japan, including major areas like Tokyo, Yokohama, and Nagoya, continuing to be a go-to spot for those looking to indulge in an American dining experience filled with fun and excitement.
