When is Waffle House’s actual birthday?
In typical DIVA FASHION, Waffle House is celebrating for more than just their ~actual birthday~. The first Waffle House opened up shop and starting slingin’ waffles on September 5, 1955 in Avondale Estates, GA.
Waffle House shares their story, saying,
In 1955, two Georgia neighbors opened up a restaurant that would change the world. Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner were living in Avondale Estates, GA, when they decided to open a 24-hour, sit-down restaurant for their friends and neighbors, focused on people on both sides of the counter…
As this movement began to expand, new restaurants were built in Georgia as well as neighboring states, and the ‘Yellow Sign’ soon became a familiar landmark along city streets and interstate highways across the country. Today, the Waffle House system is more than 1,900 locations in 25 states. All open 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
Where’s the closest Waffle House to me?
Well, our first tip is… look down the street. There’s… probably a Waffle House nearby. But if you wanna look up the closest location, you can use their tracker here.
Don’t miss out on the Waffle House birthday bash this August!
