With new restaurants planned for Euless, Texas, and Folsom, Calif., in the next several months, Huntington Beach, Calif.-based Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar is expanding its footprint in the competitive casual-dining segment. In mid-November, the Rocky Mountain-themed restaurant opened its 21st restaurant in Plano, Texas.
Chris Simms, Lazy Dog CEO and founder, said aspects of the restaurant design are based on family childhood trips to Wyoming, where the young travelers would play the License Plate Game and identify as many states as possible.
