StyliFoods (restaurant chain)

**StyliFoods** is a Portuguese fast-food/fast-casual restaurant chain. It's currently owned by Styli-Aliments Inc., which itself is a subsidiary of DD-Incorporation, a company known for technology brands like DTK, DOT, Mobili and Gamma. Styli-Aliments is also the mother company of StyliCereals and Hot/Spicy restaurants.

The chain started selling coffee and sandwiches in its inicial phase. Since then, they've started selling hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, drinks and more.

## History

### Foundation

In 1962, an unknown man referred to as **"Mr. Styliano"** started a small "café" in Matosinhos, Portugal. One year later he changed the name from "Café Styliano" to "Restaurante Styliano". It started getting popular because of its peculiarity in a dictatorship country. Mr. Styliano died in 1965 and his son completely revolutionarized it to not only acommodate old men but young people too. This proved a success and in 1966 ads started rolling out talking about their new soups and salads. Such popularity resulted in the **building** of a new restaurant in Gaia, Portugal.

### Nationalization

In 1973, a deal with a national partner decided the building of 3 new restaurants until 1985. This number changed due to the liberation of Portugal in 1974. Mr. Styliano II died in 1981 leaving the job to his daughter.

In 1979 they decided to go north to reach Galicia.

### Crisis

In July 1981, Styliano II died leaving the job to Mrs. Styliano, his daughter. She noticed they weren't getting enugh money so she cut the product availability in half in October 1981 and closed the stores in Matosinhos #0, Paredes #1, Famalicão #6, Ílhavo #7, Tondela #12 and Viana #13. She opened 1 huge location in 1984, in Lisbon #15. It was the largest restaurant of the chain for decades (until 2004).

The company quality dropped and critiques made the CEO give up from the profession, putting it to his brother living in England in 1986.
