Mission To lead with great food and beverages, and deliver a distinctive quality experience for families, friends and sports fans.
Description Ground Round® Grill and Bar has been a proven Casual Dining brand for more than 50 years. Founded in 1969, its two-room restaurant design is ideal for families with children in the dining room, or for adults meeting friends or watching the game in a separate, sports bar lounge. Since 2004, the brand has been owned by its franchisees, with a unique offer where operators not only own their franchise, but also have the option to purchase a Membership Share in the Ground Round® brand. This share gives the franchisee voting rights and preferred royalty rates as set by and voted on by Ground Round IOC Members. As a member of the Ground Round IOC Cooperative, a franchisee is guaranteed to have input and a financial stake in the future success and growth of the brand. No other brand today offers this unique partnership opportunity with a franchise purchase. More recently, the Ground Round® has developed a second brand called Ground Round® Sports Grille to accommodate smaller footprints.
