The breakfast, brunch and lunch concept, founded in Pawleys Island, South Carolina in 1997 was built on a commitment to provide communities a gathering place for great food and great conversation, from sunup to lunch. That’s why <a href="https://1851franchise.com/eggsupgrill/info">Eggs Up Grill</a> is experiencing strong <a href="https://1851franchise.com/eggsupgrill/eggs-up-grill-to-open-15---20-new-locations-in-2020-after-an-impressively-strong-2019-2711992#brand-latest-stories">growth momentum</a>, which now includes more than 40 franchised locations across the Southeastern U.S.&nbsp;The brand, which was acquired by WJ Partners in 2018, is focused on growing with franchisees who share the same community and hospitality values that have created a magnetic appeal for guests in neighborhoods across the Southeast.

During this phone call, the prospect will walk the development team through their background, why they’re interested in Eggs Up Grill and goals for their franchise ownership. They will also gain a better understanding of Eggs Up Grill, the individuals supporting the brand, and what this experience will entail in order to ensure that the opportunity is right for them.&nbsp;&nbsp;According to Eggs Up Grill’s Vice President of Franchise Development Todd Owen, the initial “high-level” introductory call, offers a chance for the Eggs Up Grill team and prospective franchisee to get to know each other. This initial call is where the prospect learns all about the brand: from the Eggs Up Grill mission and vision statement, to available markets, necessary investment and other associated costs, and the short- and long-term goals for the business.&nbsp;“The ultimate success of our franchisees is our success too,” Owen said. “This call is a way to see whether someone fits what we are looking for in viable candidates.”&nbsp;So, just what does the ideal Eggs Up Grill franchisee look like?&nbsp;The ideal Eggs Up Grill franchisee possesses an entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for results and an eagerness to drive growth.
