First of 10 new restaurants opening this fall

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Eggs Up Grill, a rapidly expanding breakfast, brunch and lunch concept, will open a new restaurant in Raleigh N.C. this fall, making it the fifth location in the Triangle area. Located at 6820 Davis Circle, the restaurant is the first of 10 for Franchise Partners Pankaj Parmar and Tahir Kakar. The duo plan to open Egg Up Grill restaurants in a territory spanning Raleigh, Durham and Greensboro, N.C. 

Parmar is a local businessman and an alumnus of NC State University. He has owned convenience stores, gas stations, dry cleaners and hotels in the area for the last 41 years. Kakar has been in business in the Triangle for the last 23 years and owns 12 dry cleaners and laundromats. The gentlemen have been business partners for almost two decades. 

“As we began exploring new business ventures together, we came across Eggs Up Grill and immediately loved the concept, the focus on the guest, and most importantly, the great food,” says Kakar. 

Parmar added that the Eggs Up Grill Brand has everything one could look for in a business opportunity and it was a chance to be on the ground floor of a growing and successful franchise. 

With indoor seating for 160 and outdoor seating for 24, the 4,200 square-foot restaurant is designed to make guests feel at home in a light, bright and cheery atmosphere. The restaurant will serve guests seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., with dine-in, online ordering, takeout, catering and delivery options available. 

Eggs Up Grill will serve its full menu open to close. Signature menu items include the founder’s recipe corned beef hash with potatoes, onions and special spices, as well as made-to-order omelets, buttery, grilled blueberry muffins, classic breakfast dishes, croissant-style donuts and lunch selections including burgers, melts, salads and more. Eggs Up Grill also caters events big or small, with a menu featuring breakfast favorites like eggs, grits, home fries, biscuits and gravy and muffins. Salads and sandwiches are available for catered lunch. 

With locations across the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Texas and  Mississippi, Eggs Up Grill offers a rewarding experience for guests and franchise partners alike.
