History

Established in 1962.

Our Beginnings

Bob Evans Farms got its start when our founder, Bob Evans, began making sausage on his southeastern Ohio farm to serve at a 12-​stool diner he owned in nearby Gallipolis in 1948. «There were so many people coming to the farm that we finally built a little restaurant in 1962 just to take care of them. It started out with only a dozen stools — just a convenience place,» Bob recalled. The original Bob Evans Restaurant on the farm was called The Sausage Shop. Although it started with 12 stools, today the restaurant can seat 134. 50 years later, we have expanded into 19 states with more than 560 restaurants employing thousands of people and serving millions of meals every year.
