American Blue Ribbon Holdings, the parent company of O'Charley's, first made news in 2009 when it acquired several brands from Vicorp Restaurants. One of those is breakfast concept Village Inn, which -- much like O'Charley's -- has undergone menu and remodeling changes and posted solid growth under the ABRH umbrella. Same-store sales rose more than 3 percent last year and new company-owned and franchised restaurants will add a couple of percentage points to the chain's network by the end of this year. Village Inn President Jeff Guido recently sat down with Nation's Restaurant News to talk about his team's progress and plans.
