The first Piccadilly Cafeteria opened in 1932 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. T.H. “Tandy” Hamilton acquired the business in 1944.[1]

In addition to its traditional restaurants, Piccadilly operates Piccadilly Emergency Services, which provides meals in emergency and disaster settings, and Piccadilly Food Service, which offers meals for schools, hospitals and government organizations.

The company also offers family dining, meals-to-go and catering services.[2]

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 April 2022 there are 33 restaurants and over 80 food service locations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia. [6]
