Texas Roadhouse Invests in Louisville Headquarters
Texas Roadhouse has made significant strides in its commitment to Louisville, announcing a $25 million investment to purchase two buildings that will serve as its corporate headquarters and support center. The celebratory ribbon-cutting ceremony for this expansion was held on August 14, 2025, signaling a robust investment in the local economy.
New Corporate Headquarters
The newly acquired buildings are located at 6040 and 6050 Dutchmans Lane, strategically positioned near the Watterson Expressway. This acquisition is not just a real estate transaction; it underscores Texas Roadhouse’s enduring relationship with the city where it was founded in 1993.
Commitment to Local Community
CEO Jerry Morgan highlighted that despite the company’s name suggesting ties to Texas, its roots are deeply embedded in Louisville. The purchase of the Support Center campus is a testament to the company’s ongoing commitment to the local community. Morgan underscored that Louisville is central to Texas Roadhouse’s identity, reinforcing the importance of remaining in the city.
Record Financial Performance
This announcement follows Texas Roadhouse’s recent financial achievements, as the company reported its most successful quarter to date, with revenues surpassing $1.5 billion for the first time in its three-decade history. The strong financial performance has allowed the company to reinvest in its headquarters, emphasizing its growth and sustainability.
Broader Context in Local Economy
Texas Roadhouse operates a diverse range of restaurant brands including its flagship locations, as well as Jaggers and Bubba’s 33, all contributing positively to the Louisville economy.

Brands has also donated its main office campus off Gardiner Lane to the Jefferson County Public Schools after considering various relocation options.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg has praised Texas Roadhouse as a “Louisville success story” and recognized the significance of the company’s continued growth in the area. This investment and the positive trajectory of Texas Roadhouse suggest a strengthening of the local job market and economic landscape, providing stability amidst the shifting corporate landscape within Louisville.
