DENNY'S NEW ZEALAND - Key Persons


Harold Butler

Harold Butler and Richard Jezak opened a donut stand in 1953 and called it Danny's Donuts Lakewood, California. Butler's stated promise was "To serve the best cup of coffee, make the best donuts, give the best service, offer the best value and stay open 24 hours a day." That single donut stand from the 50's is now a restaurant chain with a slightly different name and a proven reputation for keeping Mr. Butler's original promise. Currently there are more than 1700 restaurants worldwide.
