    		If you were referring to the burger place, jasmine, it was 1948.

    When I saw this question, I though of Hudson Bay.

    		Not quite right. Sadly Kongo Gumi was taken over by Takenaka Corporation only last month. The world's oldest family run business is now Hoshi Ryokan founded around 800 AD.
