The company was founded in 2003 by Chris Simms, Gabe Caliendo, Steve Price, and Roshan Mendis, with the group opening the first Lazy Dog restaurant in Huntington Beach, California.
As of December 31, 2020, Lazy Dog operates 39 restaurants across seven states: California, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia and Virginia.[2]
Lazy Dog is known for its small mountain town vibe and Wyoming-inspired ambiance. The concept was developed by CEO Chris Simms, who drew inspiration from time spent on his parents’ ranch near Jackson Hole, Wyoming.[3][4] Simms wanted Lazy Dog to be a place where people could connect and experience the spirit of the mountains while dining in a contemporary rustic environment.
Lazy Dog is also known for its dog-friendly policies and dog menu, available on restaurant patios.[5][6]
