## Story

The Big Biscuit, a modern All-American breakfast and lunch franchise concept known for its classic comfort food served with hometown hospitality, provides information about its Kansas presence. Chad Offerdahl, President and CEO, and Scott Jayne, VP of Operations, are cited in association with the brand.

Chad was first introduced to The Big Biscuit brand after visiting the original location in Independence, Missouri, with his father, David Offerdahl, former CEO and current partner in the business. In 2010, they purchased The Big Biscuit and became involved in franchising and restaurant operations.

“Manhattan is a vibrant and active community. The university brings youth and character. Paired with the historic charm and bustling community, we are excited for the potential of the brand here. said President and CEO Chad Offerdahl. “Manhattan is a community where a breakfast restaurant quickly becomes part of a diverse group of people’s regular routine.”

The Big Biscuit currently operates 30 restaurants across the Midwest and South, with locations in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arkansas.
