History

In 1991 - Oscar Sarkisian opens first location in Carmel Mountain Ranch, San Diego.[3]

In 2000 - Sizzler bought 82% stake of the "Oscar's" chain.[4]

In 2001 - The restaurant was renamed from "Oscar's" to "Pat & Oscar's" to avoid trademark conflicts during expansion.[5] Public marketing suggested that the reason was to give credit to Pat who also contributed to the business.

In 2008 - The management team of Pat & Oscar's bought out the company.[6]

In 2011, the company filed for bankruptcy.[7] In May 2012, after most of the restaurants closed, the remaining franchisees merged under a new brand, "O's American Kitchen" with 10 locations.[8]

In 2011, the original family reopened the Temecula, CA location. The restaurant is still operating under the name of Pat & Oscar's, but is owned by a completely separate company than the previous corporation of Pat & Oscar's.

In 2019, the final Pat & Oscar's restaurant closed.[9]

In 2020, the Pat & Oscar's family will embark on a new concept. Under the same ownership, the final Pat & Oscar's, in Temecula, is being refitted as a brewpub. Oscar's Brewing Company will open in June 2020.[10]

Community involvement

Pat & Oscar's valued community involvement since its inception.[11] In 2008, they raised an estimated $15,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation.[12]
