Family dining chain Denny’s is poised to expand its operations in the Philippines.

The move has involved an amendment to its development agreement with The Bistro Group, which became a franchisee three years ago. Bistro operates six Denny’s Philippines restaurants in the territory, which will be expanded by an additional 20 locations.

Denny’s president and CEO John Miller said exciting growth enjoyed by a newer franchisee like The Bistro Group in the Philippines demonstrates the strength of the Denny’s brand beyond North America.

Denny’s senior VP & chief global development officer Steve Dunn added: “Denny’s is one of the fastest-growing family-dining chains across the globe, and it is very exciting to see franchise partners commit to expand their existing development commitments. We continue to have an active pipeline for growth as we further expand Denny’s international footprint.”

There are more than 1720 Denny’s restaurants around the world.
