Claim Jumper Restaurant and Saloon is an American restaurant chain with more than 40 locations. The company is based in Houston, Texas. Claim Jumper is wholly owned by Landry's, Inc.[1]
History
Restaurateur Craig Nickoloff opened the first Claim Jumper in Los Alamitos, California, on September 27, 1977.[2] The original restaurant had a large menu and an atmosphere inspired by California's Gold Rush of 1849. Three more locations opened, all in Orange County. [3][4]
Acquisition by Landry’s, Inc.
In September 2010, the chain filed for bankruptcy and was slated to be auctioned off.[5] In October 2010, Landry’s, Inc., a Houston-based company solely owned by president and CEO Tilman Fertitta, acquired Claim Jumper, with a bid of $76.6 million.[6] Fertitta relocated the company’s headquarters from Irvine, California, to Landry’s corporate headquarters in the Uptown area of Houston. Landry's continues to open new locations every year.[7][8]
