🔊 Listen to this Post The Cheesecake Factory, Inc. is a restaurant company and distributor of cheesecakes based in the United States. The company operates 185 full-service dining restaurants: 165 under The Cheesecake Factory brand, 13 under the Grand Lux Cafe brand and one under the RockSugar Pan Asian Kitchen brand. The Cheesecake Factory also operates two bakery production facilities—in Calabasas, California and Rocky Mount, North Carolina—and licenses two bakery-based menus for other food service operators under The Cheesecake Factory Bakery Cafe marque. Its cheesecakes and other baked goods can also be found in the cafes of many Barnes & Noble stores. A fictionalized version of The Cheesecake Factory was used as a setting in the U.S. sitcom The Big Bang Theory.

David M. Overton, the company’s founder, opened the first Cheesecake Factory restaurant in Beverly Hills, California, in 1978. The restaurant established the future chain’s pattern of featuring an eclectic menu, large portions, and signature cheesecakes. This division operates in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. On January 25, 2011, the company expanded into the Middle East in a partnership with Kuwaiti retail franchising company M.H. Alshaya Co. In May 2014, The Cheesecake Factory announced that they will open the first Cheesecake Factory in Asia. As of November, 2014, the Cheesecake Factory had seven restaurants in the Middle East. They have three in Dubai: At The Dubai Mall, Mall of Emirates, and Jumeirah Beach Residence. In Kuwait, they have one in The Avenues Mall and another in Arabella, with one in Saudi Arabia in Jeddah, and lastly in the Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi. In December 1, 2015, The Cheesecake Factory opened its eighth Middle East Branch at the Verdun Shopping center in Beirut.

David Overton designed the Grand Lux Cafe, a restaurant for The Venetian hotel-casino in Las Vegas. The restaurant is modeled after Italian, French, and Austrian styles. The Cafe offers, in addition to American and European-style food, Thai, Malaysian, Caribbean cuisine, and others.

RockSugar Pan Asian Kitchen is a contemporary Asian-fusion restaurant which opened on June 19, 2008, at Century City in Los Angeles. David Overton excluded Chinese and Japanese cuisines from the menu, as these are served at the Grand Lux and Cheesecake Factory restaurants.
