Logan history

In 1912, the Utah Power and Light Company acquired the Telluride power plant and the company's distribution system in Logan City.

In 1927, Logan City and Utah Power and Light agreed to switch to metered rates.

In 1934 North Logan was incorporated to make it possible to finance the water system.

In 1938, Utah Power and Light's franchise with Logan City expired and the City did not renew the agreement and requested that UP&L remove its poles and wires from city streets.

In 1958, another reservoir was built which brought the storage capacity to 225,000 gallons.

A 1970 graduate of Vanderbilt University, Moats had begun his career as staff assistant to the president of the First American National Bank in Nashville.

Moats entered the restaurant business himself in 1978 when he took over a Captain D's seafood restaurant, rapidly turning it into one of the chain's most profitable units.

1991: The First Logan's

Moats began serving as a consultant to Logan's in January of 1992.

The following year was likewise slow-paced; at the end of 1993, there were only three Logan's in operation.

In the next two years, however, the company picked up steam; by the end of 1995, there were nine Logan's Roadhouses located in Kentucky and Tennessee.

In April of 1996, a secondary public offering netted approximately $20 million, and two months later, Logan's issued a three-for-two stock split.

During 1997, Logan's added nine new restaurants, increasing their growth rate and exceeding their own goals for the year.
