J. Lyons and Co.
J. Lyons & Co. was a market-dominant British restaurant-chain, food-manufacturing, and hotel conglomerate founded in 1884.
==Origins and Early History==
The company began as collaboration between the professional artist Joseph Nathaniel Lyons and his brothers-in-law, Isidore and Montague Gluckstein, as a spin-off from the Salmon & Gluckstein tobacco company.〔Joan Comay, ''Who's who in Jewish History: After the Period of the Old Testament' (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1995) p.240〕'In 1894 the company started a teashop in Piccadilly, London, and from 1909 developed this into a chain of teashops known as Lyons' Corner Houses. The company also ran high-class restaurants, founding the Trocadero in 1895, and hotels including the Strand Palace, opened in 1909, the Regent Palace, opened in 1915, and the Cumberland Hotel, opened in 1933, all in London. From the 1930s Lyons began to develop a pioneering range of teas, biscuits and cakes that were sold in grocery stores across the world.〔Roy Poter, ''London: A Social History'' (Harvard: Harvard University Press, 1998)〕
Lyons, who also founded Britain's Territorial Force, now known as the Army Reserve,〔Tony Mason and Eliza Ried, ''Sport and the Military: The British Armed Forces 1880–1960'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press) p.39〕 was appointed to run the company, and it was named after him.〔Joan Comay, ''Who's who in Jewish History: After the Period of the Old Testament' (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1995) p.240〕
J. Lyons & Co. was a pioneer in introducing computers to business. Between 1951 and 1963, the company manufactured and sold a range of LEO (Lyons Electronic Office) computers.
