Orlando, Fla. — Another Broken Egg Cafe® has doubled in size over the past 5 years; recently it signed nine new deals from successful multi-unit franchisees and plans to operate 300 cafes by 2025. These franchise groups plan to open a combined total of over 30 cafes in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Kansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.
The new deals were signed with experienced, multi-unit franchise groups who currently or historically operated Buffalo Wild Wings®, Church’s Chicken®, Five Guys® Burgers and Fries, and Jack in the Box® Hamburgers. Additionally, existing franchisees are further expanding their agreements with new openings planned for Cincinnati, Houston, Indianapolis and Jackson, Mississippi.
The brand’s leadership has also made two new hires. Chris Sutton, the new director of training, gained most of his restaurant experience in the 12 years he worked for Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill. Most recently, Sutton worked as the regional training manager for Buffalo Wild Wings and the training manager for Tavistock Restaurant Collection.
Ron Stuart, the new director of design and construction, comes from Smoothie King, where he had a hand in designing, building or remodeling more than 500 locations while working up from restaurant designer to director of design. Before that, he helped open 1,100 new locations for Jimmy John’s as a store designer. Stuart will now oversee the design planning and construction to optimize costs, seating and sales. Ron’s goal in his new role is to reduce the time and investment from franchise agreement execution to opening.
The exponential expansion of this brand, strengthened by exciting staff additions and increased guest visitation, is on track with two newly redesigned, bar-focused cafes opened in the past month and several more slated to open later this year.
“With the increased brunch demand in America today, we are beyond excited to watch our loyal guest base grow at an ever-increasing rate while our current franchisees are also expanding at a rapid rate within this fast-growing and profitable daypart,” says Clay Carson, vice president of franchise development. “Additionally, we are pleased to welcome new franchise partners and afford them the opportunity to diversify their existing restaurant portfolio with a proven brand and business model.”
