[23](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P39397297)[31](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P61617551)[2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P38071869)[4](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P103289707)[32](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P37534593) Based on FY2025 segment revenue as a share of consolidated revenue, their approximate contributions were 71.7% for The Cheesecake Factory restaurants ($2,688.8 million), 9.2% for North Italia ($345.9 million), and 9.5% for Other FRC ($355.1 million).

## Company history

Oscar and Evelyn Overton began the business as a bakery in the Los Angeles area in 1972, selling cheesecakes to local restaurants. Their son David Overton helped establish the predecessor business and opened the first Cheesecake Factory restaurant in Beverly Hills on February 25, 1978. The company expanded with a second restaurant in Marina del Rey in 1983 and a bakery production facility in Calabasas Hills in 1986; it opened its 25th restaurant in 1998. [27](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P63715958)[33](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P46541615)[34](https://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/about-us)

The company incorporated in Delaware as The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated in 1992, with David Overton serving as Chairman and CEO from that year. In 1999, it launched the Grand Lux Cafe concept, opening its first location at The Venetian in Las Vegas. In 2016, it made a minority investment in Fox Restaurant Concepts’ North Italia and Flower Child brands; in 2019, it acquired Fox Restaurant Concepts and the remaining interest in North Italia.
