Bruce Weitzman, President & CEO of Vagabond Franchise System, Inc. said, �We are honored to be among a short list of companies in our industry to have operated for 50 years and are especially heartened to enjoy continuing success in recent times.�

Starting from the single Chula Vista location back in 1958, new Vagabond Inns were built and opened, first in other parts of San Diego County, then throughout California and other western states.  With locations serving the major metropolitan areas on the West Coast, the chain sought to expand and develop locations in other high-demand destinations.  With a strong franchise system in place to facilitate growth, recent additions include properties in San Francisco and soon-to-come locations in the Monterey Bay and wine country regions of Northern California.
