FRD Acquisition Co.
 PROFILE
FRD Acquisition is about family values you can eat. A subsidiary of Advantica Restaurant Group, FRD operates and franchises its parent's Coco's and Carrows family-dining restaurants. In the US it operates about 270 locations and franchises another 60 units in 10 states (about 180 are Coco's; Carrows numbers nearly 150 units). Nearly 90% of the eateries are in California. Coco's restaurants serve family-oriented, upscale American fare. Carrows, which focuses on families and seniors, emphasizes traditional food at reasonable prices. FRD also licenses about 300 Coco's restaurants in Japan, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates. To speed up Advantica's desired sale of Coco's and Carrows, FRD filed for Chapter 11 in 2001.
