EGGS UP GRILL ACCELERATES FRANCHISE GROWTH WITH TALLADEGA SUPERSPEEDWAY PARTNERSHIP

Fast-growing breakfast, brunch and lunch franchise brings its Brand to the Yellawood 500 as it expands its existing footprint in Alabama and across the country

TALLADEGA, Ala., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eggs Up Grill, the fastest-growing and largest daytime restaurant franchise in the country, is accelerating its growth strategy in Alabama through a new partnership surrounding NASCAR's Yellawood 500 race weekend at Talladega Superspeedway, October 23 - 25.

This partnership comes as Eggs Up Grill continues expanding its national footprint and identifying new markets for franchise development, including communities across Alabama. With more than 200 restaurants open and in development, and more than 60% of franchise owners operating or developing multiple locations, Eggs Up Grill is pairing its growth strategy with partnerships designed to increase Brand awareness.

The Talladega partnership represents part of the brand's broader strategy to introduce Eggs Up Grill to new consumers, increase visibility across emerging and existing markets and create brand experiences that support long-term restaurant and franchise growth.

"Franchise growth and consumer awareness go hand in hand," Ricky Richardson, CEO of Eggs Up Grill said. "As we build on our existing presence, we want people to already recognize Eggs Up Grill and understand the experience we deliver. Partnerships like this allow us to build that familiarity on a much larger scale while creating another reason for guests, prospective franchise owners and communities to engage with our brand."

The partnership will put Eggs Up Grill in front of race fans throughout the lead-up to and during Talladega's Oct. 23-25 race weekend, which includes three days of competition culminating with Sunday's premier race. Eggs Up Grill will be featured on driver Cole Custer's No. 41 Haas Factory Team Chevrolet Camaro Sysco-sponsored car during Sunday's race, bringing Eggs Up Grill onto one of motorsports' most recognizable stages.

The race-week partnership will also extend directly into Eggs Up Grill restaurants. On Oct. 24 and 25, participating restaurants across the system will offer "Dega Donuts," three donuts for $1.41, a nod to the No. 41 driver Cole Custer. The limited-time promotion connects the excitement at Talladega with the in-restaurant guest experience, giving communities across the Eggs Up Grill system another way to engage with the partnership.

"Talladega gives us an incredible opportunity to introduce Eggs Up Grill to a broader audience while building even greater awareness in communities where we're already growing," said Ricky Richardson, CEO of Eggs Up Grill. "It brings together a passionate fan base from across the region and the country, and we're excited to be part of an event that brings that audience together. This kind of visibility is incredibly valuable as we continue growing our restaurant footprint and introducing more communities to Eggs Up Grill."

Looking ahead, Eggs Up Grill plans to build on its strong growth momentum, with significant whitespace for expansion across Alabama and markets nationwide. To support this continued growth, the brand is actively seeking qualified franchisees to bring Eggs Up Grill to new communities.

The brand's simplified restaurant format and daytime-only operations continue to resonate with franchise groups seeking scalable concepts.
