From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frankie & Benny's is a chain of Italian/American restaurants in the UK with numerous outlets nationwide run by City Centre Restaurants UK Ltd [1]. Its first location was Leicester in 1995 but now the chain has over 100 locations across the UK and also abroad.
In branches, on menus, and on their official website [2], a fictional story about the restaurant's origins is presented. The story is that in 1924, at the age of 10, Frankie left Sicily with his parents and moved to Brooklyn’s “Little Italy” in New York. Within a year of moving, the family had opened a restaurant, which is now co-managed by Frankie's long-time friend Benny. The business was taken over by Frankie and Benny in 1953, and combines popular American food with traditional Italian dishes.
