That first restaurant led to the Waffle House brand you see today. As the business expanded throughout Georgia and the Southeast, the “Yellow Sign” soon became a familiar landmark, signifying America’s Place to Eat™ and America’s Place to Work™. Today, the Waffle House system has more than 1,900 locations in 25 states, reaching as far north as Pennsylvania and as far west as Arizona. All open 24-hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
