Eggs Up Grill, the breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant concept, has continued its rapid expansion as 2020 comes to a close. So far, 6 restaurants have opened this year with another 3 set to open before the end of the year.
"I credit the hard, hard work of our franchise partners to run safe, clean, enjoyable experiences in their restaurant." The community involvement has been very important," said Richardson.
Richardson noted that there hasn't been a single closure of any existing restaurant and that sales levels are at "95% of what they were pre-COVID."
