History

Established in 1965.

The Friday’s restaurant chain was founded by Alan Stillman in 1965. The bachelor perfume salesman lived in a neighborhood with many airline stewardesses, fashion models, secretaries, and other single people on the East Side of Manhattan near the Queensboro Bridge, and hoped that opening a bar would help him meet women. At the time, Stillman’s choices for socializing were non-​public cocktail parties, or «guys’ beer-​drinking hangout» bars that women usually did not visit; he recalled that «there was no public place for people between, say, twenty-​three to thirty-​seven years old, to meet.» He sought to recreate the comfortable cocktail-​party atmosphere in public despite having no experience in the restaurant business.[3][4]

With $ 5,000 of his own money and $ 5,000 borrowed from his mother,[3] Stillman purchased a bar he often visited, The Good Tavern at the corner of 63rd Street and First Avenue, and renamed it T.G.I. Friday’s after the expression «Thank God! It’s Friday!» from his years
