Denny's is an American table service diner-style restaurant chain established
in 1953 (brand) first as Danny's Donuts, changing its name in 1959 to Danny's
Coffee Shops and changing its operation to 24 hours. In 1961 to avoid confusion
with the Los Angeles restaurant chain Coffee Dan's, it changed its name again to
simply Denny's. It started franchising in 1963. It also absorbed many former
Sambo's restaurants during its early expansion period. The company was first
established as TW Services, Inc. (1986-1989), then TW Holdings, Inc.
(1989–1993), then Flagstar Companies, Inc. (1993–1997), then Advantica
Restaurant Group, Inc. (1997–2002). November 3, 2025, it was announced that
Denny's Corporation would be acquired by TriArtisan Capital Advisors, Treville
Capital Group and Yadav Enterprises, a transaction that was completed in January
2026.
Its headquarters have changed from originally being located at La
Mirada, CA, to Irvine, CA and then to Spartanburg, South Carolina Spartanburg,
SC where Trans World Corporation (TWC), its parent company since 1987,
maintained its headquarters.

In 2002, Flagstar Companies
renamed Advantica Restaurant Group and changed its name to Denny’s, as the
restaurants were its most profitable project. The updated owners’ and restaurant
chain emblem
returns to yellow and red, without multilayer substrates. The
name is written in bold letters with a slight arch, demonstrating the
establishment’s friendliness and significant presence worldwide, combining
yellow and red. Depending on the country, the main logo undergoes minor changes.
For example, in Canada, a maple leaf is used instead of an apostrophe. The font
resembles Titla Cond Black. The current logo is a two-dimensional design with
the name inside a hexagon with two short sides and four long ones, resembling a
flattened diamond, with white and red as its two colors, in use since 2019.

The flag is a red horizontal
background with the logo in the middle.
