Never have people craved those comforting flavors and the familiar, friendly experience that our team members show each guest as much as they do now. Our franchise partner’s commitment to the community is core to our brand DNA, and our strong value for money offer is now even more important to our guests.”Within days of the pandemic, Eggs Up Grill launched online ordering, boosted partnerships with third-party delivery companies, rolled out improved packaging, and helped franchisees adapt to provide curbside ordering and pickup.“To accommodate the increased demand for off-premise dining we’re evolving the way we design restaurants,” said Owen. “We are also engineering ways to make our kitchens even more labor-efficient and investing in technology to allow more seamless online ordering and delivery integration into our point-of-sale systems. We are lowering the development costs of opening a restaurant, while ensuring that revenues grow at the same time, making our brand <a href="https://1851franchise.com/eggsupgrill/want-to-become-part-of-an-egg-cellent-franchise-brand-here-are-the-steps-to-becoming-an-eggs-up-grill-franchisee-2712119#franchisor">an attractive investment for anyone looking to either expand their portfolio or start a new career.</a>”&nbsp;Thompson, the recently signed franchise partner in Richmond, is an example of an entrepreneur starting a new career with Eggs Up Grill right now. Thompson originally started researching Eggs Up Grill in February but held off on signing when COVID-19 first hit. After gaining a better sense of the new normal Thompson re-engaged with Eggs Up Grill and in July, decided the time was right to sign his three-restaurant deal.“Consumers are coming to grips with the new environment, and with a plan to open our first restaurant in May 2021, the timing will be perfect,” said Thompson. “The time is right for a family-friendly, quality experience in the breakfast segment, especially in Richmond, where we have a very underserved market.”In 2020, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/eggsupgrill/eggs-up-grill-continues-on-the-growth-path-with-two-new-openings-and-a-new-franchisee-signing-2713295#franchisor">Eggs Up Grill will open a record-breaking number of new restaurants over the next year</a>, including three set to open before the end of 2020. Currently, its development pipeline has more than 12 restaurants already set to open in 2021, and the brand has achieved 11 consecutive quarters of same-store sales growth through February 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;“The unique appeal of Eggs Up Grill, both as a restaurant concept and business model, is gaining real traction,” said Owen. “Franchising with us is an incredible opportunity. Now more than ever people want to be spending time with their families, and as they venture out and begin to enjoy meals together again Eggs Up Grill is the perfect place to do it. We want to offer our franchisees a strong investment return with the basis in strong community relationships.”The startup costs for an Eggs Up Grill franchise range from $492,880 to $660,260. The franchise fee is $39,000.
