Calling all Wahoos! Say hello to The Den, a concept from Denny’s that’s here to satisfy your breakfast, lunch, dinner or late-night cravings on campus. The Den is not your typical diner – it is the place with a vibe, from the team behind America’s Diner. Now open in Gaston House’s dining hall at 551 Brandon Ave. in Charlottesville, VA, The Den serves up diner classics with speed and convenience at the forefront. Cavalier students and staff can get their favorites at the counter and self-serve kiosks, or plan ahead of time by ordering through Grubhub, which keeps their food safe in a takeout-style locker system for easy, on-the-go access. Stop by in-between classes, for midnight munchies and first thing in the morning for a pick-me-up with hand smashed burger for breakfast or an Original Grand Slam? for dinner.? We’re pleased to grow the portfolio of Den locations with the opening at The University of Virginia for whenever and why-ever the community craves deliciousness. #TheDen #Dennys

Feeding people is what we do best, and we are so grateful for the community and team support as the MRD set up in Denny’s headquarter city of Spartanburg, SC to help those affected by Hurricane Helene. Thanks to our amazing suppliers and local community, we were able to deliver more than 3,400 meals over two days from the Mobile Relief Diner (MRD) in the City of Spartanburg. It’s moments like these that show us the strength of community and purpose. It was an honor to be in service for those in need; team members have been sharing stories about the personal impact volunteering and helping has had. Thank you to the SPARTANBURG COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE , Mayor Jerome Rice, Denny’s brand and franchise team members, and other local organizations for your support. The MRD is heading to Asheville, NC, another region hit hard by Helene. Beginning Friday, October 4, volunteers will be stationed at Lowe’s Home Improvement Center (95 Smokey Park Highway), serving meals 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily through Tuesday. We appreciate Lowe’s for their continued partnership that allows us to serve during times of crisis. First responders especially are welcome, as the backbone of recovery efforts. We’re here to support the Asheville community and couldn’t do it without the continued dedication of our volunteers and supporters.

Nurturing a workplace that values diversity and inclusion is critical for success, and leaders like Terri Gutierrez are helping pave the way. “I’ve had the privilege of leading the Hispanic Leadership Group at Denny’s, creating opportunities for cultural awareness and ensuring our Hispanic employees have the tools they need to succeed,” she shared. Through this group,?Terri has introduced Spanish-language resources, webinars, and training support, breaking down language barriers and empowering team members across our organization. "Creating a legacy means leaving behind a path for others to grow and lead," she added. Terri continues to inspire us all with her dedication to making a positive impact in both our brand and the communities we serve. #HispanicHeritageMonth #Dennys
