History[edit]

The chain was started in April 1964 in Decatur, Georgia by John Sparks, with the goal of providing a 24-hour eatery. It is named after the act of huddling in football. The original Huddle House in Decatur was established to give fans a place to eat after "the big game" on Friday nights.[citation needed]

In 2009, Ares Capital acquired Allied Capital.[5]

In April 2012, Ares sold Huddle House to Sentinel Capital Partners.[6]

In February 2018, Sentinel Capital Partners sold Huddle House to Elysium Management for an undisclosed amount.[7][8]

On September 12, 2019, it was announced that Huddle House will acquire Perkins Restaurant and Bakery.[9]
