                           INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT


     This Amendment 2, the final amendment, to Issuer Tender Offer Statement
on Schedule TO amends and supplements the Schedule TO filed by Shoney's,
Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the "Company") on March 27, 2000, as amended
and supplemented by Amendment 1 to Schedule TO filed by the Company on April
17, 2000, and is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by
the Company in connection with tender offers (each, a "Tender Offer" and,
collectively, the "Tender Offers") by the Company for any and all of its
Liquid Yield Option Notes Due 2004 (Zero Coupon - Subordinated) (the "LYONs")
and any and all of its 8-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2002
(the "Debentures").  Terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Purchase Offer and Consent Solicitation Statement
dated March 27, 2000 (the "Purchase Offer") and filed as Exhibit (a)(1) to
Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Company on March
27, 2000.

ITEMS 1-9, 11 AND 13.

     Items 1-9, 11 and 13 of Schedule TO hereby are amended and supplemented
by adding thereto the following:

        The Tender Offers expired as scheduled at 11:59 p.m., New
        York City time, on April 24, 2000.  Based on information
        provided by The Bank of New York, the Depositary for the
        Offers, approximately 4.9% of the combined aggregate
        principal amount of the Notes were validly tendered and not
        withdrawn pursuant to the Offers, which was insufficient to
        meet the minimum conditions of the Offers.  Accordingly, no
        Notes were accepted for payment and all tendered Notes will
        be returned to the Holders in accordance with the terms of
        the Offers. The Company has issued a press release in
        connection with the information reported herein which is
