Dave & Buster's or D&B is an American restaurant and entertainment business headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Each D&B has a full-service restaurant and a video arcade. As of July 1, 2009, the company had 57 locations across the United States and two in Canada. The company also licenses the D&B concept internationally through area licensing agreements. D&B acquired nine Jillian's locations after Jillian's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2004 and by December 2009 most, if not all, of these Jillian's locations had been re-branded with the Dave & Buster's name. The company announced on December 8, 2005 that it would be acquired by private equity firm Wellspring Capital Management. On July 16, 2008, Dave & Buster's Holdings Inc, filed with the SEC to again become a publicly traded company. The company has not set yet a date for the IPO. See Less
