## Story

Eggs Up Grill will continue its growth in the state of Virginia this year with new Franchise Partners Tony and Brigitte Bartley Sawyer. In February, the couple signed a deal for Eggs Up Grill restaurants in the Hampton Roads territory, including the metropolitan areas of Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Newport News, Va. Eggs Up Grill recently opened a location this month.

Sawyer has been involved with Sport Clips for the last 17 years and owns locations in the Southeast; he is the largest sole operator of the hair care concept. In addition to Sport Clips, the Sawyers own licenses for Urban Air Adventure Park franchises and licenses for Snapology.

Brigitte Bartley Sawyer is an entrepreneur who focuses on holistic health and wellness. She is a certified life coach and published author, as well as a social media marketer, luxury realtor and blogger. She will serve as the chief people officer for the Sawyers’ Eggs Up Grill restaurants.

“When looking for our next venture, we knew we only wanted to work with a concept that has a great product and great people, and Eggs Up Grill has both,” said Tony Sawyer. “What truly stood out to us was the leadership. They really care about franchisee success, which is why the brand is number one in its category.”
