Development
The Royal Canadian Pancake Houses were owned by Royal Canadian Foods Corp, a Delaware corporation. The first outlet opened up in Tribeca in New York City in 1989. It was followed by the opening of a second location in Midtown Manhattan. In November 1993, the founders, Sheldon Golumbia and Beatrice Puja, took it public with a micro public offering of 250, 000 shares of common stock at a sale price of $5.00/share. Subsequently, two more locations were opened up in NYC, in the Upper West Side and in Gramercy. In Miami Beach, Florida, Royal Canadian Foods also opened a Royal Canadian Pancake House and a Womlette House, featuring “womlettes” (an omelet with a waffle base).
In the fall of 1998, Royal Canadian Foods closed up all their outlets.
