The founder of Ruby Tuesday, Samuel (Sandy) E. Beall was a finance major at the University of Tennesee. He also managed Pizza Hut restaurants in the area. When his business partner at Pizza Hut was dying, he gave Beall $10,000 to open a new restaurant so he started Ruby Tuesday on his college campus! He later quit school to focus on it full-time. It was a popular place for students to grab a quick, cheap bite and have a drink.
