The Spiral Diners are vegan restaurants located in Near Southside Fort Worth, with a second location in Dallas, Texas. The Fort Worth location is currently the city's only vegan restaurant. == History == Spiral Diner & Bakery was founded in 2002 by Amy McNutt, a vegan and animal rights advocate. McNutt's purpose in starting Spiral Diner was to demonstrate, in addition to its moral significance, that a vegan diet can be satisfying and delicious. The first location for the diner was in the Fort Worth Rail Market, a renovated Santa Fe Railroad building that housed a variety of shops and food vendors as well as a Farmer's Market. During its stay there, the diner developed a large and loyal following. After just two years, a larger facility was needed. In 2004, a 1932 vintage building on Magnolia Avenue was acquired and refurbished. In August 2004, Spiral Diner & Bakery opened at that new location where it remains today. In June 2007 it was announced that Spiral Diner would be opening a second location in Dallas, Texas. Sara Tomerlin, a graduate of Texas Christian University and former Spiral Diner employee, signed a licensing agreement with McNutt to own and operate the Dallas location. After much planning and a major renovation of the chosen site, Tomerlin opened for business in March 2008. In December 2007, licensing and ownership of Spiral Diner Fort Worth was sold and transferred to Lindsey Akey, a long-time Spiral Diner employee and the restaurant's manager for the past several years. Akey began operation as the new owner on January 1, 2008. Amy McNutt will remain as the owner of the Spiral Diner brand, serving as a consultant. Future plans may include additional Spiral Diner locations in other Texas cities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spiral Diner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
