UNITED STATES AND CANADA OPERATIONS
Our full-service restaurants in the United States and Canada are Company-owned and operated. We currently do not franchise or joint venture domestically and at this time we have no plans to do so in the future.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
We are selectively reviewing opportunities to license our brand to highly experienced, well-established companies for expansion into international markets.
We currently have three licensing agreements in place for the Middle East, Latin America and Asia.
Currently, The Cheesecake Factory-branded restaurants are operated under licensing agreements in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Mexico, the Chinese Mainland and Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao.
The Latin America agreement provides for the development of restaurants throughout Mexico.
The Middle East agreement provides for the development of restaurants in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Lebanon with the opportunity to expand the agreement to include other markets in the Middle East and North Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and Turkey.
The Asia agreement provides for the development of restaurants in the Chinese Mainland and Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand, with the opportunity to expand to Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.
