Introduction• Focus for my project was to analyze and compare
the locations of Ruth’s Chris steakhouses in the Midwest and California. Also chose to take a look at our home state of Indiana!
• Why Ruth’s Chris?o Who does not love a good steak? Ruth’s Chris
is my favorite place to eat and has (in my opinion) the best steak around.
o However I was curious to analyze why there really are not many locations around our area compared to other areas.

Ruth Fertel• Bought the restaurant in 1965
for $18,000 to hopefully pay for her children’s college
• She worked and learned every part of the business herself and sold 35 steaks on day one for $5 dollars each!
• At the beginning she hired single mothers to work her restaurant because they are “The hardest workers” according to her.
