The Story of Huddle House
Huddle House started in April 1964 in Decatur, Georgia. A person named John Sparks had an idea to create a restaurant that was open 24 hours a day.
He named it "Huddle House" because of the word "huddle" in football. The very first Huddle House was set up to give football fans a place to eat after a big game on Friday nights. It was a cozy spot for everyone to gather, or "huddle," together.
Over the years, Huddle House has grown and changed owners a few times. In 2019, Huddle House announced that it would also take over another restaurant chain called Perkins Restaurant and Bakery. This helped Huddle House become an even bigger company.
