Waffle House Inc.
 PROFILE
The pancake's crunchier cousin gets top billing at the Waffle House. The company boasts more than 1,200 franchises, most of which are in the Southeast. If you need your waffle fix at 3 a.m., Waffle House is open 24 hours a day. The first of these roadside restaurants opened on Labor Day, 1955, and the menu has changed little since then. In addition to their namesake golden grids, the stores offer traditional coffee shop fare with a southern twang, including double cheeseburgers, T-bone steaks, sandwich plates, grits, and hash browns. The company has shied away from the media since a 1983 suit alleged it was paying excessively low wages. It has also been the subject of several lawsuits alleging race and gender bias.
