<p style="font-size:16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
On Nov. 14, 1994,
<strong>
Debbie and Lisa Ganz
</strong>
opened a new restaurant in Manhattan.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The 20-something sisters, having raised money from friends, made the ambitious decision to serve only dinner and Sunday brunch. They installed a large, mahogany bar and competed with the city’s trendiest eateries.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px; line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Many friends told them it was a bad idea. Various elders suggested they get real jobs. Debbie’s boyfriend didn’t think the concept could work.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
But within weeks, hundreds of newspapers and TV shows were asking for interviews or to film inside the restaurant.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
That’s because the world had never seen anything like the Ganz sisters’ restaurant.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Lisa and Debbie are identical twins, and they had staffed their eatery,
<strong>
Twins Restaurant
</strong>
, with 30+ pairs of identical twins who wore matching outfits and sported name tags that read something like “I’m not Lisa” or “I’m not Debbie.” If one twin got sick, the other had to stay home, too.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Buoyed by the restaurant’s viral reception, Lisa and Debbie planned to open locations across the country. But as they worked long restaurant hours, emptying grease traps at 2am, they discovered a more intriguing opportunity.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
For any business project or media opportunity that involved twins, triplets, or “multiples,” the Ganz twins would be the consultants, the authors, or the ones to find the twins. They excelled at it. They monopolized it. And they’ve been doing it for decades now.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Lisa and Debbie Ganz have chased a world record by putting 150+ identical twins on tandem bikes. They have found identical twins to play roles in “Law & Order” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” They have published a twin-related book.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
“We basically [turned] how we were born into our business model,” Lisa tells me.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
“We’ve always embraced our twinness,” Lisa says.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px; line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Or maybe it was Debbie. As we talk on the phone, they speak exuberantly — “We have the gift of gab,” one says — sometimes at the same time, agreeing and disagreeing with an ease that comes from spending most of your life with someone since birth.

<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
For the Ganz sisters, being identical twins isn’t just a fun fact. It’s their identity.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px; line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
As children, they performed in talent shows, singing duets like “Together (Wherever We Go).” Their first job was babysitting; they got fired from it together.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
During their college years, while traveling in Greece, they were hired by a restaurant manager who liked the idea of identical twins staffing the hostess stand. It was their first twins-related job.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
They kept traveling together, working together, always in restaurants and bars because they hoped to open their own one day.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
“And then we just said, ‘Why don't we use what we are?’” Debbie explains. They came up with the concept of staffing a restaurant exclusively with identical twins — making twins the entire theme.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
They heard from plenty of doubters, but their parents were supportive, and several close friends believed in them and invested money. So did actor
<strong>
Tom Berenger
</strong>
, famous for his roles in
<em>
Platoon (1986)
</em>
and
<em>
Major League (1989)
</em>
, who they’d met while working in a restaurant.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
In total, the twins say they raised
<strong>
~$400k
</strong>
(~$800k in 2022). Then, they got to work on their first business.
</p>

<strong>
Inside Twins Restaurant
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size:16px; line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
When the restaurant opened, the twins theme was inescapable.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Lisa and Debbie Ganz had chosen a location on Second Avenue. They had double-sided business cards, and told everyone the restaurant was in “New York, New York, the only city you name twice.” The restaurant had twin bar stools and a large, double-helix centerpiece. Waiters handed out Doublemint gum with every check.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Other twins had also opened stores or eateries. At the time, Manhattan even had a restaurant, Triplets, opened by identical brothers whose story of being separated at birth and reunited as adolescents inspired the documentary
<em>
Three Identical Strangers
</em>
.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
But none had ever staffed a restaurant with identical siblings.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
“We took [the theme] to the nth degree,” says Lisa. The sisters even required each pair of twins to wear identical outfits.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The press couldn’t get enough of Twins Restaurant. “It was a global phenomenon,” Lisa says. “Every single day we had camera crews,” Debbie adds.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Lisa and Debbie worked the long hours of a new restaurant while also appearing on shows like “Oprah” and planning to open a string of Twins locations.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Then something unexpected happened: They started getting requests from TV producers and casting agents who wanted their help finding identical twins.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
“We were in a city with a lot of people in the entertainment business,” says Debbie. “The customers could be the head of Disney, or just someone doing a local film.”
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
One of the first requests came from a show looking for a pair of 22-year-old twins for a makeover episode.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
So they found two 22-year-old twins — an easy task since twins flocked to the restaurant or called to ask about working there — and they helped when local news producers asked them to, say, find identical twins to model dueling outfits for a fashion segment.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
As time went on, producers would ask, “How much should we pay the twins?” Lisa and Debbie realized there was a business opportunity to be agents or managers for identical twins and triplets.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px; line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
So when they closed Twins Restaurant in 1999 — for what was meant to be a temporary closure while they found a larger space in Times Square and expanded to California and internationally — the sisters never reopened it, and they left the restaurant business.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Their new business was anything and everything twins.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size:17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height:22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
The twin economy
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size:16px; line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Their first project was a photo book,
<em>
The Book of Twins
</em>
, that profiled celebrity identical twins like football stars
<strong>
Ronde and Tiki Barber
</strong>
.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
They didn’t need to pitch it, Lisa says. The restaurant had branded them as
<em>
the
</em>
twins people, so anyone who wanted to do something with twins came to them.

Over the years, they created a twins calendar, worked as twin spokespeople in advertisements, catered twin weddings, and more.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
“It’s a visual concept,” says Debbie. “So anything we could do that people could see... we would do it. We were entrepreneurs before you went to school for it.”
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
And they made sure, after closing the restaurant, to maintain their brand position as the go-to identical twins. To this day, they give interviews on twins for radio and television, and bring 50 sets of identical twins every year to a twins festival in Twinsburg, Ohio.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
But
<em>
representing
</em>
twins, triplets, and multiples eventually became their biggest and most enduring twins business.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
To staff their restaurant, they had created a “database” of identical twins, mainly by posting ads in magazines. With Twins Restaurant appearing around the world on TV and in newspapers, local and national, they heard from more and more twins, triplets, and quads.
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
“Thousands of twins came to us,” Debbie says. “We would handwrite everyone’s address. We have logs in our houses, still, thousands of notebooks [where] we wrote their information.”
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Along with the twins’ strong brand, this database became the basis of their business,
<strong>
Twins Talent Management
</strong>
, which finds twins, triplets, and multiples for three main cases.

When someone making an ad or casting a show or movie wants a pair of twins,
<a style="color: #192733; text-decoration: underline !important;">
they ask the Ganz sisters
</a>
and specify details like age, appearance, and skill set (maybe both twins need to play the drums). In return, Twins Talent receives a cut of the twins’ fees, typically an industry standard of 10%-20%.
</p>
<ul style="font-size:16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left:12px; margin: 0;">

In the last case, viewers rarely know the actors are twins, since the twins typically share a role. Due to child labor laws, producers hire young twins so that when one child actor reaches the legal limit of hours a child can work — or if one kid is having a tantrum — they can switch to his or her twin.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">

Out of Their Niche

Nowadays, working with twins and multiples comprises just a fraction of the Ganz sisters’ business.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px;line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
“We love twins. We are twins. That’s our community,” says Debbie. “But… it’s a niche under our larger umbrella.”
</p>
<p style="font-size:16px; line-height:140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Entertainment folks knew the sisters were experts at finding people, so they turned to them for all kinds of specific, non-twin casting requests. The sisters became general casting directors, then started developing original programming.

Beats by Dre
</strong>
built a multibillion-dollar headphone company in part by prioritizing heavy bass
<a style="color: #192733; text-decoration: underline !important;">

Taika Waititi’s

<em>

</em>
and
<em>
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
</em>
— led to his gigs writing and directing Marvel and Star Wars movies.

But the Ganz sisters will never leave behind the world of twins.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
