History
[edit | edit source]Carrows was started by David G. Nancarrow in Santa Clara, California, in 1970 as the Carrows Hickory Chip Restaurant.[1] Carrows and its sister chain Coco's Bakery Restaurants were purchased by Advantica Restaurant Group in 1996, which would file for bankruptcy the following year.[2] In 2002 they were acquired by Catalina Restaurant Group, Inc.[3]
In California, Carrows/Coco's Bakery competed directly with Marie Callender's and Bakers Square restaurants.
In 2006, Catalina Restaurant Group was bought by Japanese company Zensho Co., Ltd., which has operated Coco's Japan for many years.[4]
In 2015, Food Management Partners acquired Catalina Restaurant Group Inc., (parent of Coco's and Carrows).[citation needed]
In September 2018, it was announced that Shari's Cafe & Pies had taken over Carrows and Coco's.[5][6]
On June 28, 2023, Carrows has shuttered its restaurant in Cerritos due to the company's retirement.[citation needed]
