Brand History

The history of Ruby Tuesday starts back in 1972 with Sandy Beall and a $10,000 endowment he received from his friend who was running several Pizza Huts. With this donation and another $10,000, Sandy Beall together with four of his University of Tennessee fraternity brothers opened the first Ruby Tuesday restaurant. It was located on the University of Knoxville campus.

In the next ten years, a new location was opened every nine months or so. So, by 1982 16 Ruby Tuesday restaurants were opened. The same year Morrison Inc. purchased the Ruby Tuesday chain with $15 million.
