What was the first McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant?
Since teaming up in the early 1970s, Bill McCormick and Doug Schmick have established more than 80 restaurants and catering operations throughout the country – an extraordinary feat in a business with the highest attrition rate of any in the United States. The two men, very different yet surprisingly compatible, have established themselves as entrepreneurs with one collective vision, to run the nation’s premier family of seafood restaurants. The history of McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants began when Bill McCormick purchased Jake’s Famous Crawfish Restaurant located in Portland, Oregon, and brought the more than 100-year-old landmark back to life. When asked the secret of how he revitalized a restaurant on the brink of closing, McCormick says, “I like nothing better than being a good host.” In addition to his spirited personality, McCormick has an ability to bring out the best in other’s managerial skills and strengths, a combination essential in a successful business.
