Independence, Mo. — The Big Biscuit, a modern All-American breakfast and lunch franchise concept known for its classic comfort food served with genuine hometown hospitality, has officially reopened its original location in Independence, Mo. On June 27, the restaurant completed a major renovation following an 11-day closure and a $250,000 remodel.
The refreshed restaurant reflects the brand’s continued investment in elevating the guest experience, starting with the very location where it all began. The remodel included new flooring, updated walls and lighting, kitchen upgrades, improved restrooms, landscaping and fencing, and an upgraded breakfast counter. A historical plaque will also be installed to commemorate the site’s legacy. Notably, the design preserves the original booths, artwork and nostalgic touches guests have come to love.
“This location is where I first experienced The Big Biscuit, so it holds a lot of meaning,” says Chad Offerdahl, president and co-CEO of The Big Biscuit. “This remodel is a representation of our history and vision moving forward. We’re proud to continue investing in the spaces that shaped our brand and are excited for guests to experience the next chapter of our flagship restaurant.”
The Independence restaurant signifies the beginning of both The Big Biscuit and the Offerdahl family’s journey with the brand. It was here that Chad and his father, David, first visited The Big Biscuit as guests, ultimately leading them to acquire the brand in 2010. Their vision was to grow a great breakfast concept without losing what made it special. Today, the Independence location stands as a symbol of the company’s evolution, from one beloved neighborhood spot to a growing regional brand led by a tight-knit team committed to preserving its roots while scaling for the future.
With a 25-year legacy and a growing regional presence, The Big Biscuit is becoming a major player in the breakfast and lunch category. Now operating 29 locations across Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri, The Big Biscuit is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025 and recently launched its largest menu refresh in over 5 years.
The Big Biscuit, which began franchising in 2020, is currently focused on expansion in St. Louis, Dallas-Fort Worth and other regional communities.
