History
In 1948, company-founder Bob Evans made
sausage at his southeastern Ohio farm for the 12-stool, 24-hour
restaurant he owned in Gallipolis, OH.
·
In 1953, a group of Bob Evans' friends and family recognized
the growing demand for his sausage, became business partners
and founded the company.
·
Bob Evans Farms became a publicly held company June 6, 1963.
Reincorporated in Delaware in 1985, the company's headquarters
is located in Columbus, OH.
Mimi's Café, acquired in 2004, offers
a wide selection of freshly prepared, high-quality American comfort
foods in an upbeat and sophisticated atmosphere reminiscent of
New Orleans cafés and European bistros.
