  • Case 14 Outback Steakhouse: Going International*
    CTAC14 4/17/07 14:02 Page 245 case 14 Outback Steakhouse: Going International* By 1995, Outback Steakhouse was one of the fastest growing and most acclaimed restaurant chains in North America. Astute positioning within the intensely- competitive US restaurant business, high quality of food and service, and a relaxed ambiance that echoed its Australian theme propelled the chain’s spectacular growth (see table 14.1). Chairman and co-founder Chris Sullivan believed that at the current rate of growth (around 70 new restaurants each year), Outback would be facing mar- ket saturation within five years. Outback’s growth opportunities were either to diversify into alternative restaurant concepts (it had already started its Carrabba’s Italian Grill restaurants) or to expand internationally: We can do 500–600 [Outback] restaurants, and possibly more over the next five years . [however] the world is becoming one big market, and we want to be in place so we don’t miss that opportunity. There are some problems, some challenges with it, but at this point there have been some casual restaurant chains that have gone [outside the United States] and their average unit sales are way, way above the sales level they enjoyed in the United States. So the potential is there. Obviously, there are some distribution issues to work out, things like that, but we are real excited about the future internationally. That will give us some potential outside the United States to continue to grow as well. In late 1994, Hugh Connerty was appointed President of Outback Inter- national to lead the company’s overseas expansion.
