In 1967, Nation's Restaurant News was born as an exciting news tabloid, replacing the Chain Store Age for Fountain and Restaurant Managers magazine.  With the restaurant growth explosion by now sweeping the nation, NRN dedicated itself to providing readers with the news, trends and information they needed to stay ahead.

Along the way, in the late 1950's, the magazine began the first executive forum between foodservice operators and suppliers in a New York City hotel room.

Thirty-seven years later, the Multi-Unit Foodservice Operators (MUFSO) conference reigns as the premier executive gathering in the industry.

As for NRN, the publication has evovled significantly over the years, adding new sections and specialists to serve its varied readership.

One of the biggest changes is the speed at which NRN delivers information.  The publication went from biweekly in 1984 and a decade later launced a daily operation, the NRN Daily NewFax, which brings subscribers late-breaking information every business day.

NRN-Online is the next step in NRN's continuing quest to provide the most timely and important information about the foodservice industry, which today is a $320 billion business with no end to growth in site.
