Olive Garden’s History
General Mills Inc. opened the first Olive Garden in 1982 in Orlando, Florida and by 1989 there were already 145 locations. Darden Restaurants, which was the holding company for Olive Garden and Red Lobster, split from General Mills in 1995, and both sales and expansion increased rapidly.
Annual sales of the chain were $3.3 billion in 2010. One of the major advertising themes from the beginning of Olive Garden restaurants included a focus on unlimited salad, and later soup and breadsticks. In 2013, the “Never Ending Pasta Bowl” was introduced for $9.99 and was very successful at maintaining a strong regular customer base.
The 2014 “Never Ending Pasta Pass” which enabled 7 weeks of daily unlimited pasta for $99 received a great deal of media attention. The passes were limited to the first 1000 people and tickets were sold online. This marketing strategy was a huge success in terms of creating visibility for the chain.
