Bob Evans

Bob Evans is known for its Southern inspired food, including its hearty breakfast platters, biscuits, and chicken pot pies. However their food didn’t seem to be enough to sustain the business in the mid-2010s, as 2016 saw Bob Evans closed many of its locations it identified as underperformers.
In 2017, the private equity firm Golden Gate Capital bought the Bob Evans restaurant chain to add its portfolio. Since then, the restaurant chain has improved its menus and added more entrees with fresh ingredients, stabilizing things. Golden Gate Capital also owns Red Lobster and California Pizza Kitchen.
