Olive Garden plans to develop a 7,805-square-foot restaurant with 143 parking spaces and prominent monument signage on the site. Olive Garden, the leading restaurant in the Italian dining segment, boasts nearly 900 locations, employs nearly 100,000 people and generates more than $4.9 billion in annual sales. Olive Garden is part of Darden Restaurants, Inc., which owns and operates more than 1,900 restaurants and generates over $10.5 billion in annual sales.

According to Yahoo Finance, rising prices at fast food chains are prompting a shift toward sit-down dining experiences. Darden Restaurants CEO Rick Cardenas highlighted industry data indicating a trend from fast food to casual dining, which bodes well for Olive Garden and its new location in Portland. Data from Placer.ai ranks the nearby Olive Garden on South Padre Island Drive in Corpus Christi as the top-performing Olive Garden in Texas, with over 575,000 annual visits and a 23.2% increase in visits over the past three years. This success suggests that the new location in Portland will generate significant business while creating new job opportunities for the local community.
