The Beginning
Jim-Denny's was founded in 1934 by Jim Van Nort. The original location was 16th and J Streets, close by the then new Memorial Auditorium. The present location on 12th Street was opened after Jim got home from serving during World War II. During the post war years Jim-Denny's was open around the clock.
The Current Story
The Lane Family (current owners) bought Jim-Denny's in March 2005 from it's 3rd set of owners after Jim. After lot of hard work (and still some on-going) we are proud and most humbled to be reopening the doors to this historic Sacramento landmark.
