Why A Brunch Franchise?

Look outside any breakfast restaurant on the weekend with lines wrapped around the street corner, and you know: brunch is out of this world popular. But brunch is more than just a trend – it’s a positive social experience that brings people together over delicious food. In the past decade, brunch has overtaken not only breakfast, but also lunch and dinner as the most popular meal of the day, which is why restaurants all across the U.S. are quickly trying to adapt to offer brunch items on their menu.


But it’s not just brunch Americans are craving. Increasingly, the demand for restaurants that cover the range of breakfast to brunch to lunch is through the roof. According to a nationwide survey by The Harris Poll, 62% of people said breakfast is their favorite meal of the day, with 75% of people saying they look forward to eating breakfast/brunch at their favorite restaurant. The NPD Group , a market research firm, also found that from September to November 2021, on-premise traffic for lunch improved by 44% compared to the same time period the year prior. Indeed, the appetite for breakfast, brunch, and lunch is not slowing down anytime soon.


“Brunch has become more popular than ever,” The Washington Post recently reported. “Data from Google Trends show that search interest in brunch has been rising steadily since 2004… And the weekend phenomenon is spreading. Demand for the meal has been so great that even fast-food eateries and casual sit-down restaurants have begun to offer weekend brunch deals.”

How the Famous Toastery Bowl came to be

By John Pacinio • May 12, 2024
This is the story of how a 24-unit regional breakfast-and-lunch chain with a marketing staff of two pulled off the title sponsorship of a nationally televised college bowl game … on six weeks’ notice. Stadium renovations forced the move of the 2023 Bahamas Bowl to Charlotte, N.C.—the home turf of Famous Toastery. The chain had recently inked a partnership with NASCAR driver (and 2021 Daytona 500 champ) Michael McDowell, who connected ESPN events with Famous Toastery, according to VP of Marketing Lorna Martinez. And, thus, the Famous Toastery Bowl, which took place on Dec. 18 between Western Kentucky University and Old Dominion University at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, was born, complete with toast mascot racing at half time, the chain’s first TV ad, and WKU’s victory celebration that featured players with fistfuls of toast, making “toast angels” on the field and throwing slices of bread into the sky. “We are a small bunch when it comes to Famous Toastery,” Martinez said. “You would think that a brand like this has, you know, at least some sort of division of PR or marketing. We’re a marketing team of two … We’re a small group but we all knew we would pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and make this happen. So, I think that’s the beauty of it. It felt like, all right, this is our underdog brand that could, the little engine that could … And, so, there was never a doubt in our minds that, you know, six weeks, let’s just get it done.”  Getting it done included a long punch list, one most sponsors take a year to complete. Among the tasks: Creating a media plan to announce the bowl game, preparing for the coin toss and half-time show, building a 30-second TV spot from scratch, creating a logo, writing radio ads, developing a social media strategy and, perhaps most importantly, figuring out how to capitalize on the Famous Toastery Bowl long after the stadium had emptied.
