Waffle House Opened Its First Location in Avondale Estates, Georgia
Founders Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner of Waffle House launched their business in 1955, on Labor Day Weekend. They were located at 2719 East College Avenue, Avondale Estates, which is currently a museum. Of course, the restaurant was named after the most demanded item on its menu.

Fun fact: Promised to be the fastest fast-food service all day long.
The founders’ goal was to create a speedy fast food diner that was available 24/7. The original sign had a font with syrup dripping off the letters.
