Bickford's history dates back to the 1920's, when Samuel Bickford opened his first Bickford's cafeteria. Throughout the next 40 years, Sam, and eventually his son, Harold, worked to expand their cafeteria chain throughout the Northeast and into California. However, it was not until 1959 that Harold introduced a new concept to New England, the first Pancake House-the first such specialty restaurant in New England which opened in Peabody, Mass., in October 1959.
