The Start of Something Great… and Delicious
Our journey began in 1991 when Stephen J. Hanzlik and a group of friends founded Lehigh Valley Restaurant Group.
The First Grand Opening
Together, they opened their very first Red Robin restaurant at Tilghman Square in Allentown, PA.
Things Grow Rapidly
Between 1994–2009, LVRG opened 17 Red Robin locations throughout Eastern and Central PA.
Yummm! at Home
We officially rolled out our new, innovative to-go program at all Red Robin locations!
