Long John Silver's Restaurants, Inc.
 PROFILE
Long John Silver's Restaurants is the pirate king of quick-service seafood restaurants, with more than 1,200 units in 35 states. The chain (which takes its name from a pirate character in Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island") features such menu items as batter-dipped fish, chicken, and shrimp, as well as sandwiches, salads, and desserts. About 60% of the restaurants are company-owned, and the rest are operated under franchise agreements. The concept was developed by Warren Rosenthal and James Patterson, both executives of Jerrico Inc. (a franchising pioneer tracing its roots back to 1929). Long John Silver's is a subsidiary of holding company Yorkshire Global Restaurants, which also owns A&W Restaurants.
