Her recipe became popular, and she eventually opened a small cheesecake shop. In 1972, the Overton family moved to Los Angeles, where they opened a wholesale bakery to supply local restaurants with cheesecakes.

In 1978, David Overton opened the first Cheesecake Factory restaurant in Beverly Hills, offering a menu that included not only cheesecakes but also a variety of other dishes. The restaurant's success led to the expansion of the brand across the United States.
