The first location opened on Cedar Springs Road in Oak Lawn is still in operation. The chain eventually expanded across the American South. In early 1997, DenAmerica purchased the Black-eyed Pea restaurant chain from Unigate plc, a British food manufacturer and distributor, for $65 million. At that time the chain consisted of 130 restaurants, about a quarter of which were franchises. On November 12, 2001, DenAmerica, now operating as Phoenix Restaurant Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This resulted in the closing of 48 Black-eyed Pea locations, reducing the chain to 44 locations (not including the Colorado locations, whose owners were in better financial shape).〔(Phoenix Restaurant Group files Chap. 11 | Nation's Restaurant News | Find Articles at BNET )〕 In 2002, under new management, Black-eyed Pea was reformatted as a "country casual" chain by adding more appetizers and seafood offerings, along with more grilled items as well as an increased emphasis on its bar.〔(New Black-eyed Pea owners snap into action, return to casual-dining roots | Nation's Restaurant News | Find Articles at BNET )〕 Phoenix Restaurant Group Inc. was headquartered in Madison, Tennessee.〔Brus, Brian. "(Chain shuts 6 restaurants in Oklahoma Black-Eyed Pea closes without warning workers )." ''NewsOK''. October 24, 2001. Retrieved on April 16, 2014.〕 As of July 12, 2007, Black-eyed Pea has a total of 50 locations, including 35 in Texas and 15 in Colorado. The Texas locations are largely located in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metropolitan areas, while the vast majority of the Colorado restaurants are situated in the Denver area. In December 2008, former corporate employees Stephen Shaw and Alan Laughlin along with Steve's brother Jim Shaw purchased all the rights to the Colorado locations of Black-eyed Pea. The three have begun changing menu items and pushing more advertising. 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「Black-eyed Pea (restaurant)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
