“We know our guests and they love to travel and experience new things, but the quarantine of more than a year has kept many of them from this adventure,” said Sara Bittorf, TGI Friday’s Chief Experience Officer. “TGI Fridays has restaurants all over the world, and while Fridays fans cannot physically visit all of them, we are excited to bring the ultimate global Friday experience to our US restaurants.”

The survey also found that 64 percent of people agree that the hardest part of the quarantine was not going to restaurants to socialize, and 59 percent plan to go to happy hour / bars more than before the pandemic.
