“I opened four or five of their restaurants up in San Francisco and then wound up in<br />

Torrance opening a Victoria’s Station in Torrance and they became a big company and<br />

got very corporate,” Hennessey said.<br />

Victoria’s Station had<br />

established about 90<br />

locations and in 1976<br />

Hennessey decided he<br />

wanted a restaurant of his<br />

own.<br />

restaurant empire.<br />

“There was certainly not enough money and I was pretty much the only employee for<br />

nine months so I just worked day and night seven days a week,” He said.<br />
