Another Broken Egg Cafe Launches Refranchising Program, Opening a New Path to Franchise Ownership

Refranchising program launch

“This is one of the fastest paths to scale we’ve ever offered existing and new franchisees – ownership of corporate-owned cafes with a built-in guest base, plus the runway to keep building,” said Jorge Salvat, President and CEO of Another Broken Egg Cafe. “It’s a real growth opportunity for operators who love this brand and are ready to scale. It also means we can put our energy where it matters most – supporting our franchisees, strengthening the brand and partnering with the right operators to bring Another Broken Egg Cafe to more communities across the country.”

As the daytime dining leader with 30 years of experience, Another Broken Egg Cafe brings strong guest loyalty to its existing markets, giving franchisees an established revenue base to build from as they expand. Under the refranchising program, franchisees purchasing corporate-owned cafes will enter a development agreement with each transaction, committing to build new cafes alongside the ones they acquire. Another Broken Egg Cafe will also continue to operate a select number of corporate-owned cafes, reflecting the brand’s ongoing investment in system growth.

“We’re already receiving interest from our operators and new candidates about stepping into ownership of existing cafes while driving new development,” said Chris Eby, Vice President of Development for Another Broken Egg Cafe. “We’re also being intentional about matching the right operators to the right markets, so every acquisition sets up strong future growth, not just a single transaction. It’s a natural next step for any franchisee looking to grow with Another Broken Egg Cafe.”

Business model performance

This new path to ownership is backed by a model built for performance. Another Broken Egg Cafe’s daytime-only model continues to stand out to prospective franchisees, with 10 to 12 new cafes opening annually. The brand’s single-shift structure eliminates dinner and late-night staffing, supporting stronger work-life balance for owners and staff while simplifying day-to-day operations.

Franchisees enjoy average unit volumes of $1.75 million across the system, with top-quartile operators reaching $2.4 million, and roughly half own multiple cafes – a track record that continues to fuel interest from qualified franchise candidates.

The brand’s bar program, which generates approximately 10% of sales, further strengthens unit economics and sets Another Broken Egg Cafe apart as the only daytime dining brand offering a full bar in every cafe.
