Orlando, FL (RestaurantNews.com) Another Broken Egg Cafe, the award-winning, upscale ‘NextGen Casual’ daytime-only restaurant, is celebrating great growth and record-setting sales during the first six months of the year.
“We’ve hit the ground running in 2022, after a successful 2021” said Paul Macaluso, CEO and President of Another Broken Egg Cafe. “We are seeing significant momentum in on our franchise and corporate cafe growth efforts.

In recent months, Another Broken Egg Cafe has opened locations in Guntersville, Alabama; Columbus and Sandusky, Ohio; Port Orange, Florida, Gilbert, Arizona and Lexington, South Carolina.
Known for its chef-inspired dishes with an artisanal flair that are “craveably” delicious, and mixologist-hosted full bars serving today’s trending tastes, the brand is capitalizing on the popularity of the brunch category and expanding its reach into new markets, including recent agreements to open cafes in Fulton, Maryland, El Paso and Austin, Texas, Biloxi, Mississippi and further development in the state of Virginia.
America’s love for brunch continues to grow as individuals are looking for more than just a meal but a dining destination that offers a great overall experience. As a result, Another Broken Egg Cafe has seen positive revenue escalation since late 2020.
Average-unit volumes have climbed from $1.5 million at the end of 2019 to $1.85 million at 2021’s exit, a 22.6% same store sales increase vs 2019; and EBIDTA margins have improved to 19.1% for the top 25% of corporate cafes. According to studies from Allied Market Research, the global breakfast food market size is projected to reach $729.5 billion by 2030, for a compound annual growth rate of 6.3% from 2021 to 2030.
“We’ve made some significant changes over the last few years to ensure we are the leading full-service ‘NextGen Casual’ brunch concept,” said Jeff Sturgis, Chief Development Officer at Another Broken Egg Cafe. “We’ve updated our restaurant design to better serve off-premise without detracting from the onsite dining experience and invested in technology to enhance our efficiency and the guest experience, while also demonstrating the brands viability and adaptability”
