Brand overview
Starting as a pancake house in 1958, Perkins has spent over 60 years growing into a pioneering breakfast brand and a top restaurant franchise. Known for pioneering all-day breakfast and legendary in-house bakery pies, the brand has adapted to meet changing customer needs and evolving real-estate patterns. Owners operate either traditional free-standing locations or a newer, more affordable end-cap business model that features a smaller footprint without sacrificing full-service hospitality. Perkins continues to maintain its commitment to warm hospitality, exceptional food, and outstanding value.

Why choose
Perkins leverages a $285 billion breakfast market and a $17.1 billion bakery café industry with its iconic, dual-segment concept. A modernized pie ordering system via app and third-party delivery creates an additional revenue stream for franchise owners. With over 60 years of brand history and a loyal, multi-generational customer base, the franchise offers lasting stability and community recognition. The new end-cap model requires a significantly smaller footprint, allowing owners to capitalize on prime real estate opportunities.
