Brand Summary

With impressive year-over-year sales growth, Sunny Street Café is the next big opportunity in the breakfast and lunch lifestyle franchise segment. As big corporate breakfast chains fall out of favor, the breakfast and lunch franchise is quickly extending the branches of its family tree by offering entrepreneurs simplified operations, in-depth support, and attractive lifestyle benefits.

"The breakfast franchise category is the fastest-growing segment in the restaurant industry, and Sunny Street Café stands out as a truly family-owned franchise company,” said CEO and President Scott Moffitt. “Within communities, these restaurants become a place for business meetings, family get-togethers, and weekend brunches. Especially now, as the main national chains die out, like IHOP and Bob Evans, emerging, more community-driven franchises like Sunny Street Café are here to fill that void."

Over the years, the Sunny Street Café team has aimed to perfect the breakfast/lunch business model, offering operators attractive hours of 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM, flexible lifestyle benefits, a simplified business model, and a low-risk, high-reward opportunity. But that doesn’t mean the company has rested on its laurels — the team continues to innovate and find ways to position restaurants for greater success.

Today, consumers are more eager than ever to enjoy community-driven restaurant experiences and Sunny Street Café is giving franchisees a unique opportunity to cater to that demand with one of the few family-owned-and-operated breakfast franchises in the industry.
