Chuy's is a Tex-Mex restaurant chain established in 1982 in Austin, Texas, by Mike Young and John Zapp.[3] As of September 2023, Chuy's had 100 restaurants across 16 states:[1] Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio,[4] Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.[5]

History[edit]

Chuy's first location opened in 1982 on Barton Springs Road in Austin, Texas.[6]

On May 31, 2001, then President George W. Bush's twin daughters, Jenna Bush and Barbara Bush, were cited for using fake IDs at the Barton Springs Road Chuy's,[7][8] which put Chuy's in the national spotlight.[9][10][11][12]

In 2009, Chuy's opened its first restaurant outside of Texas, in Franklin, Tennessee.[6]

On July 24, 2012, Chuy's went public with a $75.8 million dollar IPO.[13] At that time they operated 36 locations in 7 states.

Cofounder Mike Young died on August 11, 2023, at the age of 74.[6]

Charitable contributions[edit]

Chuy’s Children Giving to Children Parade has annually collected toys to be distributed to underprivileged children via the Operation Blue Santa's city of Austin Police Department not-for-profit organization since 1988.[14]
