History[]

Piccadilly first opened its doors in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1944.

Piccadilly expanded in 1998 when it purchased Morrison’s Cafeterias, a major competitor.^[3] In 2003, the company was purchased by Yucaipa Companies and Diversified Investment Management Group.

Piccadilly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2012.^[4]

Piccadilly Holdings is led by CEO Azam Malik. In 2018, the company resumed its expansion, opening its first Piccadilly To-Go location in Cordova, Tennessee. A contemporary, prototype restaurant designed to lead future growth was opened at Juban Crossing in Denham Springs, LA in early 2019 (near the company's original location in Baton Rouge).^[5]

As of January 2022, the company has 40 restaurants and over 80 food service locations in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia. ^[6]
