flanigan's was incorporated in florida in 1959 and commenced operating as a chain of small cocktail lounges and package liquor stores throughout south florida. by 1970, we had established a chain of "big daddy's"​ lounges and package liquor stores between vero beach and homestead, florida. from 1970 to 1979, we expanded our "big daddy liquors"​ package liquor store and lounge operations throughout florida and opened clubs in five other "sun belt"​ states. in 1987, flanigan's began renovating our lounges to provide full restaurant food service, and subsequently renovated and added food service to most of our lounges. our package liquor stores emphasize high volume business by providing customers with a wide variety of brand name and private label merchandise at discount prices. our restaurants offer alcoholic beverages and full food service with abundant portions and reasonable prices, served in a relaxed, friendly and casual atmosphere.
