Largest Huddle House gets new ownership

Huddle House was recently featured in The Times and Democrat for the re-opening of the Orangeburg location. Led by Mark Coker, the restaurant recently re-opened under new ownership, giving the restaurant a modernized look with an all new menu, updated appliances and landscaping. This is one of the largest Huddle House restaurants in the country and sales in Orangeburg are already up 44% from the opening on June 16th. Mark hopes to continue the growth of the brand in the area and plans on finding more ways to connect with the local residents.

When the move was made in 1992 to its present site at the former home of McDonald's on Calhoun Drive, the restaurant became the largest Huddle House in the country.

The idea was to make room for more people at a popular eatery. Most Huddle Houses seat 50 to 60. The Orangeburg location can handle 80.

New owner Mark Coker is hoping he'll need every one of those seats.

On June 16, Coker opened the 20-year-old Huddle House in Orangeburg, bringing not only new ownership but updates to the restaurant.

When Coker acquired the Orangeburg location, renovations to the interior, exterior and the menu were necessary, he said. The changes are aimed at making the building more attractive and customer-friendly.
