Cheesecake Factory History:
The Cheesecake Factory started in Detroit, Michigan in the 1940?s. Evelyn Overton found a recipe in the local newspaper that inspired her ?Original? Cheesecake. Everyone loved her recipe so much that she decided to open a small Cheesecake shop, but she eventually gave up her dream of owning her own business in order to raise her two small children, David and Renee. She moved her baking equipment to a kitchen in her basement and continued to supply cakes to several of the best restaurants in town while raising her family.
In 1972, with their children grown, Evelyn and her husband Oscar decided to pack up all of their belongings and move to Los Angeles to make one last attempt at owning their own business. With the last of their savings, they opened The Cheesecake Factory Bakery and began selling Evelyn?s cheesecakes to restaurants throughout Los Angeles. Through hard work and determination, their business grew to a modest size and Evelyn was soon baking more than 20 varieties of cheesecakes and other desserts.
With great foresight and intuition, their son David decided to open a restaurant in Beverly Hills, CA in 1978 to showcase his mom?s selection of cheesecakes. The restaurant was an immediate success and today there are more than 200 The Cheesecake Factory restaurants around the world that share the Overton?s commitment to quality and spirit of innovation and hard work.
