You talking about the Denny's restaurant equivalent in Southern California? I remember those shops. I never did them, but I remember them posted all the time prior to COVID. Haven't seen them since.

Back when toilet paper scare happened, they were offering meal packages with rolls of toilet paper to entice people to order takeout from them.

If Norms is the name of the actual restaurant, then no one will tell you the actual name of the MSC, as it is a Forum violation to name both the actual Client and MSC in the same thread. Plus, it could also violate your ICA with the MSC.

I Googled it. From their website: "There are 22 locations across Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties, with more on the way."

Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008

OP did not request the name of the MSC. The question was " Has anyone shopped or seen them available with any MSC?" The question can be answered - yes or no - without violation.

Great point!

Let’s just say that I thoroughly enjoyed the Denny’s Southern California equivalent. If anything, I think it’s even better quality than the actual Denny’s itself. Sad to see that it seems as if no one has come across it anymore.

And I do apologize for giving out hard names. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on the forum and my heart longs for the days that I had done these shops.

I can't remember the last time I stepped inside Norm's (has to be 10 years or more), but it was one off Harbor Blvd in Costa Mesa. A buddy did the shop (several us at work did shops and we took turns feeding each other during the lunch hour). Norm's isn't bad, but it's not something to look forward to either. The prices are reasonable, but I thought Denny's equivalent would help people outside the SoCal region understand they weren't really missing out on anything great. I think of Norm's like Burger King. It exists, but I'm not really that interested. I will stick with In N Out and Habit.
