History
Established in 1964.
Huddle House was founded in 1964 by John Sparks. Having already opened a few restaurants under various names, he needed a great name for his restaurant chain. One evening at his restaurant in Decatur, Georgia, he saw a boy meeting friends after football practice. The group was «huddled up», talking and laughing together. It was at that moment he decided that Huddle House was the perfect name for the restaurant and it would be the place where folks would gather, or «huddle up,» for great food and good times.
John Sparks continued to successfully build the Huddle House brand for many years by adhering to his core values of providing great service and serving quality food cooked-to-order to ensure it is always fresh, hot and delicious. When John Sparks passed away in 1978, his wife, Pauline, took the lead until Huddle House was sold to a private firm in 1994.
