Denny's, one of the most iconic diner chains in the US, is set to go private after agreeing to a sale amid ongoing struggles. The £475.9 million ($620 million) buyout, which includes existing debt, will give the brand a fresh start under new private ownership.
CNN Business reported that the diner's board of directors voted unanimously to approve the deal. Denny's will be taken over by a group of investors consisting of TriArtisan Capital Advisors, private equity firm Treville Capital, and Yadav Enterprises - one of the chain's largest franchisees. The company announced the acquisition on Monday, 4 November 2025.
