Instead, he'd appealed to a few family members who had believed in and bankrolled him. That might not sound like a lot, but Darden CFO Raj Vennam said (via CoStar) that caution was the name of the game, and not overextending themselves was key in a still up-in-the-air industry. He explained, "We do want to target as much growth as we can. Now, we're going to be disciplined in how we do that. We're being a little bit more selective, but still, we feel like we have opportunity [to open] quite a few [new locations]." On the heels of that report, 2024 seemed as though it was going to be carrying that momentum forward. High numbers led to a nearly 20% increase in their stocks, and along with that, it was also announced that they were planning on opening at least 30 new restaurants by the end of the year.

The Holiday Event of the season for the Whole Family

In the Family Guy season 8 episode "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag", Peter Griffin purchases a DVD copy of Road House for a dollar at a closing video store. After watching the film, he decides that the only way to solve every problem is by roundhouse kicking everything in sight including his family. The episode was dedicated in memory of Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer on September 14, 2009.[36] Since the episode, Peter kicking people has since became a gag in the show. Later, Wesley contacts Dalton threatening that either Elizabeth or Garrett will die.

In the 1989 cult classic, Swayze played James Dalton, a zen bouncer hired to clean up a rowdy Missouri bar. Dalton quickly runs up against the corrupt businessman (Ben Gazzara) who controls the small town. The film was a modest box office success — grossing $30 million against a reported $15 million budget — but has since earned the reputation of a cult classic and is among Swayze’s most beloved roles among the late actors’ fans. In the original 1989 film starring Patrick Swayze, Swayze plays James Dalton, a cooler, a.k.a. bouncer, at a refurbished roadside bar who uncovers the corruption of the town by a local businessman.

“Shrinking” star Jessica Williams, who confirmed to Variety last summer she’d be joining the cast, plays the roadhouse owner. Patrick’s Roadhouse has operated profitably for nearly its entire history but struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic when dining rooms were forced to close, according to the GoFundMe campaign page. During that time, the restaurant supported the community by providing meals to frontline workers and students. No proceeds from the GoFundMe will be utilized unless a new lease is secured and the amount is fully funded. Expansions came amid a year of trending growth, with Guest XM ranking Capital Grille as among the top performers in sectors that included not only food but beverages, service, ambiance, value, and intent to return. It's led to them averaging a revenue-per-employee of more than $9 million, and record sales in 2023.

So in crafting the character, Gage was interested in exploring the Cat King’s rage as well as his narcissism. While Olive Garden had historically been Darnden's flagship powerhouse, they actually reported a decline in sales. They were still growing strong, and were the only section of Darden's portfolio that reported growing sales numbers. Many nationwide restaurant chains are making a massive comeback, and they aren't just returning to pre-COVID levels, they're looking ahead to growing in an era when people just want to get out of the house and get back to normal. That's great news for everyone, from diners looking forward to a date night that doesn't involve Netflix, to industry workers who are looking forward to getting some kind of stability back in their lives.

Garrett is attacked, but fights off his assailants and comes to Double Deuce, while Dalton checks on Elizabeth, who is safe but unwilling to talk to Dalton any further. Distraught, Dalton storms Wesley's estate, kills most of his henchmen and defeats, but relents from killing Wesley, refusing to give in to his anger. Elizabeth arrives and reconciles with Dalton, but Wesley recovers and attempts to shoot him before being shot dead by the locals, including Emmett and Red. Sometime later, the modernized and refined Double Deuce bustles with customers while Dalton and Elizabeth swim together in a lake. One evening, the auto shop adjacent to the Double Deuce — owned by Elizabeth's uncle Red Webster — is destroyed in an arson attack.

While filming ended in a few months in November of the same year, the cast and crew gathered again in March 2023 to record some additional footage. Since the film is heavy on high-octane action and stunt sequences, the lead actor Jake Gyllenhaal underwent a physical transformation over two months to do justice to the director’s vision for the character of Elwood Dalton. As noted in that Deadline report, this is not the first time MGM has tried to reboot "Road House" for modern audiences.

"The Big Four Roadhouse is filled with food, drinks and incredible music all day in one place," said spokesperson Theresa Howland in a Wednesday news release. Texas Roadhouse's earnings are expected to grow from $5.77 per share to $6.36 per share in the next year, which is a 10.23% increase.

Given the reputation of the bar, the crowd it usually attracted and the handful of less-than-adequate employees, the job proved not to be an easy feat. In the new reimagined Road House, Jake Gyllenhaal stars as ex-UFC fighter Dalton, and he seems to be a bouncer who’s a little more lethal with his hands and slightly more humorous. If this is the first you are hearing about the Road House remake, or perhaps you read about it but thought it was too good to be true, stick around, because we’re about to break down everything we know about the upcoming reimagining. This includes who will be showing up as part of the stacked cast, what the movie is about, and how its star shocked the world of mixed martial arts when he showed up at a UFC event and made news around the world.

Billy Magnussen (“No Time to Die”), Daniela Melchior (“The Suicide Squad”), Gbemisola Ikumelo (“A League of Their Own”), Lukas Gage (“The White Lotus”), Hannah Love Lanier (“A Black Lady Sketch Show”), Travis Van Winkle (“You”), B.K. Cannon (“Why Women Kill”), Arturo Castro (“Broad City”), Dominique Columbus (“Ray Donovan”), Beau Knapp (“Seven Seconds”) and Bob Menery will all star alongside Gyllenhaal in “Road House,” which is described as a new take on the 1989 film. While McGregor has shot dozens of commercials for his various business ventures, Road House will be his first foray into feature films. He is repped by WME, Patrick Knapp of GGSS&C and Audie Attar of Paradigm Sports Management.
