The Cheesecake Factory offers a casual dining

contains 200 selections of food and 50 different



cheesecakes and desserts, which includes their

Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake.





Humble Beginnings





The early beginnings of the Cheesecake Factory started



with Oscar and Evelyn Overton. They dreamed of opening



their very own business where Evelyn, always known as



a skilled cook, created cheesecake recipes liked by



her friends. During the late 1940’s, Evelyn decided to



open a small cheesecake shop in Detroit. However, in



order to raiser her to two children properly, she



chose to extinguish her dreams and gave up the shop.



She then moved her baking to the kitchen in her



basement and continued to supply cakes to a number of



local restaurants.





During the year 1971, with their children all grown



up, the couple decided to move their cheesecake



business to Los Angeles. Carrying only what is left



from their savings, they managed to open a 700 square



foot store and called it the Cheesecake Factory. The



early years were extremely lean and very difficult.



The couple even worked at 18-hour shifts. Oscar



concentrated on selling the cakes and establishing new



accounts while Evelyn managed the office and baked the



cheesecakes.





Luckily, the people of Los Angeles liked their



cheesecakes, which made the reputation of their



restaurant grow. In 1975, they have improved their



bakery and Evelyn created over twenty assortments of



delectable cheesecakes and other desserts. Oscar



started purchasing delivery trucks, expanding their



cheesecake distribution, hiring drivers and developing



additional out-of-state customers.





The tireless effort of the couples to provide



innovative and quality product development eventually



gave way to the foundation of the Cheesecake Factory’s



success. In 1978, their son David then founded the



Cheesecake Factory restaurant in Beverly Hills, which



was a milestone for the company and made them even



more famous.





Expansion and Successes





Owners of the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las



Vegas asked David Overton to establish a casual and



upscale restaurant for the hotel. In order to do this,



David traveled to Europe in order to study the



architecture, cuisine, design and décor of traditional



Italian trattorias, pastry shops and grand cafes of



Vienna. David eventually created the Grand Lux Café,



which is known to merge the luxuriant European cafes



with the sensibilities of an all-American restaurant.





The establishment offers cuisine from cultures, like



Malaysian, Caribbean, Thai, aside from European style



food. More so, it is located in several locations,



including Houston, Long Island, Paramus, Florida, New



Jersey, Miami, Chicago and Denver, among others.





The main emphasis of the Grand Lux is the bakery on



the premises, which offers baked-to-order cheesecakes



and other desserts. However, they also offer baked



food products at counters for take-out. Currently, the



company operates thirteen restaurants in several



locations.





The Cheesecake Factory also offers online services.



Within this venture, the company offers cheesecakes



that will be delivered to customers in dry ice. Truly,



no company has ever achieved cheesecake revolution



than the Cheesecake Factory, Inc.
