TGI Fridays, the iconic restaurant chain that revolutionized social dining, is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a global celebration that spans continents and highlights its enduring legacy of fun and connection.
The milestone commemoration will feature a unique, time-zone-spanning event on March 15, where Fridays locations across the UK, Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas will celebrate successively, creating a 24-hour wave of festivities.
To mark the occasion, Fridays is offering several special promotions that pay homage to its founding year of 1965. The ‘Two for $19.65’ deal allows guests to enjoy a curated menu featuring classic dishes like Half Rack of Ribs, Cheeseburgers, and Chicken Caesar Salad. The restaurant is also reintroducing its famous Long Island Iced Tea in a limited-edition collector’s cup, invoking the brand’s original mixology spirit.
Founded as the world’s first singles bar, TGI Fridays transformed the dining landscape by creating a welcoming space that encouraged social interaction and celebration. The brand has since expanded to nearly 400 locations across 41 countries, maintaining its core ethos of delivering delicious American classics and an energetic atmosphere.
CEO Ray Blanchette emphasized the company’s commitment to its original vision, stating that they are ‘refreshing the guest experience to reflect our brand’s timeless promise of indulgence, connection and celebration.’
The anniversary celebration extends beyond March, with planned activities and promotions throughout the year. The brand is also encouraging guests to participate in the #ShareYourFlair challenge, inviting them to post social media pictures that capture their unique personality and energy.
As TGI Fridays enters its seventh decade, it continues to embody its founding principles of fun, inclusivity, and memorable dining experiences. The global celebration serves not just as a retrospective of its past achievements, but as a forward-looking testament to its enduring cultural significance in the world of casual dining.
