Long John Silver's
Long John Silver's is an American fast food restaurant chain that specializes in seafood. The name comes from the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, where the character Long John Silver is a pirate. The company was founded in Lexington, Kentucky in 1969.
History
The first Long John Silver's restaurant was opened in 1969 in Lexington, Kentucky. The original location was a converted barn, which set the tone for the brand's maritime theme. The company expanded rapidly throughout the 1970s and 1980s, becoming a leading chain in the fast food seafood market.
Menu
The menu at Long John Silver's primarily consists of seafood, including fish and chips, shrimp, and clams. They also offer chicken, corn, and hushpuppies. The restaurant is known for its "crunchy" fish and shrimp, which are breaded and fried in a style similar to that of Southern cuisine.
Business Model
Long John Silver's operates on a franchise model, with the majority of locations owned and operated by independent franchisees. The company provides training, marketing, and operational support to its franchisees.
Criticism and Controversy
Long John Silver's has faced criticism for its food's high levels of trans fat and sodium. In 2013, the Center for Science in the Public Interest declared a meal from the chain the "worst restaurant meal in America" due to its high calorie, sodium, and trans fat content.
