Rise and shine, breakfast enthusiasts! If you’re someone who believes that breakfast is not just the first meal of the day, but a celebration of morning flavors, you’re in for a treat.
Keke’s Breakfast Cafe, the rapidly expanding breakfast chain known for its cozy atmosphere and hearty meals, has just announced a plan to open over 140 new restaurants across the United States.
This means more opportunities to indulge in your morning favorites, and who knows—the next Keke’s could be popping up in your neighborhood!
The Florida-based chain, which has become a beloved morning destination for its fresh, high-quality ingredients and generous portions, is not just growing—it’s booming.
With 65 locations already serving up morning joy, primarily in the Sunshine State, Keke’s is looking to sprinkle its breakfast magic far and wide, with a new cafe opening its doors on December 6.
Keke’s president, Dave Schmidt, has shared that approximately 140 new units are expected to be built over the next three to five years.
This ambitious expansion will see Keke’s venture beyond its Florida roots, with recent openings in Nashville, Tennessee; Sunnyvale, California; and Highlands Ranch, Colorado.
The chain has also set its sights on Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Nevada for new locations by early 2025, with a goal of 25 to 30% annual growth.
The chain’s website teases a list of 12 locations that are “coming soon,” fueling excitement for those eager to have a Keke’s nearby. Since its founding in 2006, Keke’s has established a reputation for serving up both breakfast and lunch with a focus on quality and taste that has won over patrons beyond its original borders.
A Fresh Look and Feel
But it’s not just about expanding geographically. Keke’s is also refreshing its brand with a new logo and a secondary mark that nods to its Floridian origins with an orange motif.
This summer, the chain unveiled a new design concept in Hendersonville, Tennessee, featuring brighter decor and Florida-inspired elements—a design that will be the standard for all new locations.
This refreshed look is part of a comprehensive remodel program that began at the Dr. Phillips location in Orlando in July. Keke’s is committed to staying current and appealing, which is evident in their focus on technology upgrades and menu innovation.
Keke’s is keeping up with the digital age by launching a new website and implementing new ordering software to enhance the customer experience.
The chain is also testing new point-of-sale and kitchen-display systems in multiple cafes to streamline operations and ensure that your pancakes and omelets are served up more efficiently than ever.
Menu Innovations
Keke’s isn’t just about the classics; it’s also about innovation. The chain has introduced redesigned kids’ menus and seasonal menu testing, along with expanding its drink options to cater to all tastes and preferences.
Whether you’re in the mood for a traditional breakfast platter or something a little different, Keke’s aims to have something for everyone.
A Bright Future
Since Denny’s acquired Keke’s in 2022, the parent company has been supportive of the chain’s growth, planning to open 12 to 16 new Keke’s locations in 2024 alone.
This expansion is a testament to the brand’s popularity and the growing demand for quality breakfast dining options.
