California Pizza Kitchen, Inc
California Pizza Kitchen, Inc. (CPK) is a global leader in the casual dining industry originating from Beverly Hills, California with over 250 full-service and fast-casual restaurants worldwide. CPK has grown rapidly since its inception in 1985 when founders Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax opened their first restaurant, which was soon followed by an additional eight locations throughout Southern California. In 1992, the chain went public on the NASDAQ under the stock symbol CPKI and raised over $18 million dollars for expansion within two years. CPK started to franchise globally in 1995 with an international presence today in 8 countries throughout North America, Latin America, Asia and Middle East. Restructuring efforts in recent years have seen a shift towards more focus on creating innovative menu options as well as lifestyle brands such as catering services and express lunch menus. In addition to providing quality meals at accessible prices, they strive to give back to the communities they serve through initiatives such as fundraising programs that offer portions of profits directly back to non-profit organizations dedicated to food insecurity prevention or other community needs.
