History
The restaurant chain opened its first store in Albury, New South Wales in 1987 by local businessman Tom Potter. Eagle Boys' national headquarters are located in the Brisbane suburb of Annerley.
Eagle Boys set up in New Zealand in the mid-nineties with 55 stores, and operated for some years. They were later all sold to Restaurant Brands in 2000 and converted to Pizza Hut.
The company specialised in 2 minute "express" pizzas (limited range of 4) between 5:30 and 8:00 pm, which was achieved by constantly remaking their four most popular pizzas and keeping them in a warmer for sale up to eight minutes after they have been made. However, as of 2008, Eagle Boys have discontinued the express line in favor of a similar promotion "Ready, Fresh Go!", featuring 2 of the express pizzas and a "Manager's Special'.
As of 2007, Eagle Boys Pizza had celebrated 20 years in the industry. It was announced also that they are expanding to an additional 40 stores in 2007.
In July 2008 it was announced that Eagle Boys had acquired the Pizza Haven chain across Australia.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
