Two corporate entities operate the restaurants.[1] The lone Texas restaurant is operated by Restaurants Acquisition I, L.L.C.,[2][3] whose company is based in Upper Kirby, Houston.[4][5] The Colorado restaurants are operated by RMR Colorado, LLC, headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado in Greater Denver.[6][7] HistoryBlack-eyed Pea was founded in 1975 by Dallas restaurateur Gene Street and Phil Cobb. The first location opened on Cedar Springs Road in Oak Lawn and closed January 2, 2016, after 40 years of operation. The chain eventually expanded across the American South. Prufrock expanded the chain to 130 locations and sold to Unigate PLC for about $65 million. In early 1997, DenAmerica purchased the Black-eyed Pea restaurant chain from Unigate plc, a British food manufacturer and distributor. On November 12, 2001, DenAmerica, now operating as Phoenix Restaurant Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This resulted in the closing of 48 Black-eyed Pea locations, reducing the chain to 44 locations (not including the Colorado locations, whose owners were in better financial shape).[8] In 2002, under new management, Black-eyed Pea was reformatted as a "country casual" chain by adding more appetizers and seafood offerings, along with more grilled items, as well as an increased emphasis on its bar.[9] Phoenix Restaurant Group Inc. was headquartered in Madison, Tennessee.[10] As of September 28, 2016, 12 of the 13 Black-eyed Pea restaurants in Texas shuttered their doors with little notice after filing bankruptcy in 2015. [11]As of April 2017, Black-eyed Pea has a total of 10 locations, including just one in Texas and nine in Colorado. The only Texas location is in Arlington, while the vast majority of the Colorado restaurants are in the Denver area. Many of the Texas locations had shut down by that time. 7 : Companies based in Denver|Companies based in Houston|Restaurants in Colorado|Restaurants in Texas|Economy of the Southwestern United States|Regional restaurant chains in the United States|Restaurants established in 1975 |
