GE Capital’s Franchise Finance business has provided an $11 million term loan and $2 million development line of credit to RJC, LLC, a restaurant operator, to support its recent acquisition of 26 Denny’s restaurants.

The restaurants are located in the Southeastern U.S.; 14 are in North Carolina, five in South Carolina, three in Alabama, and two each in Tennessee and Georgia. Eight of the restaurants are at Pilot Flying J truck stops. RJC is based in Pleasanton, CA.
