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.
