In 1979 Johnston brothers, Bob, Mike, and Mark opened the first Melting Pot restaurant in Tallahassee, with the permission of the original owners. The menu of the restaurant was improved and grew larger as it expanded its franchise.

In 1985 all rights to the Melting Pot brand were purchased by the Johnston brothers. After that, the company was named The Melting Pot Restaurants, Inc. and in two years they changed its management and brand. Pretty soon the three brothers started to franchise this restaurant business concept.

Following this change Melting Pot grew with careful planning. Units were also opened in Clearwater Florida and St. Petersburg. Nowadays there are 97 franchises in the United States and Canada.
