Texas Roadhouse Louisville Headquarters

Louisville, KY August 14, 2025. In a bold nod to its hometown heritage, Texas Roadhouse has secured ownership of its corporate headquarters and support center with a $25 million purchase. The two buildings, situated off Dutchmans Lane near the Watterson Expressway, now firmly belong to the brand that started its journey in Louisville over three decades ago.

CEO Jerry Morgan emphasized the company’s deep local connection, stating, “While Texas is in our name, Louisville is where our story began and it’s where our heart remains.”

This significant investment arrives at a high point for the chain, fresh off its most profitable quarter in history, with revenue topping $1.5 billion. Since opening its first location here in 1993, Texas Roadhouse has grown into a nationwide dining powerhouse but it’s keeping its corporate roots planted exactly where the journey began.

For Louisville, it’s more than just a real estate deal; it’s a celebration of a homegrown success story that continues to give back to the community while serving up the steaks that made it famous.

A Louisville Legacy Since 1993

Founded by Kent Taylor in 1993, Texas Roadhouse grew from a single restaurant into a nationwide brand with hundreds of locations, as well as sister concepts Jaggers and Bubba’s 33. Despite national expansion, Louisville has retained its operational heartbeat. This new property deal not only secures its physical base but also symbolizes the company’s enduring connection to the city.

Inside the $25M Investment

Location: Off Dutchmans Lane, near the Watterson Expressway
Property: Two buildings housing corporate offices and support teams
Purpose: Strengthen operational infrastructure and retain ownership in a high-value commercial area

This purchase provides stability for the corporate workforce and supports the brand’s rapid growth.

Record-Breaking Business Performance

The timing of the acquisition is no coincidence. Texas Roadhouse just closed its most successful quarter in three decades, reporting more than $1.5 billion in revenue. With strong sales across its three concepts, the company is building on this momentum to fuel future expansion.

More Than Steaks: A Growing Family of Brands

While most customers know Texas Roadhouse for its fresh-baked rolls and hand-cut steaks, the company also operates:

Jaggers: A fast-casual brand offering burgers, chicken sandwiches, and salads.
Bubba’s 33: A sports bar and casual dining concept with pizza, burgers, and beer.

These sister brands are part of a diversified growth strategy, allowing Texas Roadhouse to appeal to multiple dining segments.

Commitment to the Community

Louisville has benefited from Texas Roadhouse’s presence through jobs, charitable contributions, and local partnerships. The headquarters purchase signals a deepened promise to remain a community anchor, creating opportunities not just for diners, but for the local economy.

Looking Ahead

With corporate ownership secured, record-setting revenue, and a strong brand portfolio, Texas Roadhouse is poised for continued growth both in Louisville and nationwide. The $25M headquarters purchase is more than a real estate deal, it’s a declaration that the city that gave birth to the brand will always be its home base.
