Why Own a Perkins^® Franchise?

Perkins^® is a timeless American restaurant franchise.

Since 1958, Perkins^® has delivered on exceptional food, incredible service – and of course, our world famous pies! In that time, millions of people have made Perkins^® a part of their daily routine.

We’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs own restaurants that stand the test of time.

This is what makes our Perkins^® brand so special:

Customer Service

Our customer service is on a whole other level. We cultivate regulars by treating our guests like family. We learn their names, we become a part of their lives, and in return, they come to us again and again. We have many guests who have been coming to us for decades.

Investment

Investing in a Perkins® has never been more affordable than it is today with our end-cap business model. This model significantly reduces the required footprint without sacrificing the full-service feel that our restaurants are known for. For our franchise owners, it’s the opportunity to capitalize on prime real-estate opportunities in their markets, and own restaurants with far more flexibility in terms of floorplan, labor and ongoing costs.

Bakery by Perkins℠

Perkins® pies and other bakery items have become legendary. We pride ourselves on baking in-house. No matter if the occasion is a birthday celebration, a 60-year anniversary, Mother’s Day brunch, or just a decadent treat after a meal, our baked goods are as fresh and delicious as it gets!

Prestige

We are the quintessential American restaurant and bakery franchise where quality food, customer service, and comfort all intersect.

Our Iconic Menu

Our iconic menu is a difference you can taste. We never cut corners on the quality of our food and the freshness of our ingredients. Our guests love that everything on our menu is made especially for them and is always served with a smile.

Variety

Breakfast is just the beginning. Perkins® might be famous as a breakfast restaurant and a bakery franchise, but our full-service menu proudly boasts an outstanding lunch and dinner selection that mixes both classic comfort foods and contemporary culinary specialties that are designed to satisfy any craving.

Breakfast & Bakery Franchises Are Big Business

While Perkins^® franchise owners are a dynamic part of the $285 billion breakfast category, they also get to tap into the $17.1 billion bakery franchise industry as well. with our whole pies, pie slices, seasonal flavors, holiday-themed pies, cookies, brownies, and signature Mammoth Muffins™ .

Our baked goods are a key driver in sales not only in our restaurants but also provide an incredible second revenue stream outside our four walls.

We recently launched our mobile-only Bakery by Perkins^® concept to capitalize on third-party delivery, online ordering, catering, and more. And the results couldn’t be better.

Our Bakery by Perkins℠ mobile-only menu highlights Perkins’^® Bakery on delivery websites, making it easier for people to find. This innovative sales channel contributes to increased bakery sales for our franchise owners.

Third-party delivery allows us to expand our core audience and introduce a whole new generation of fans to the Perkins^® bakery franchise brand.

Bakery by Perkins℠ is also labor and cost-effective for our franchise owners. It allows our franchise owners to tap into a new revenue stream without increasing costs, hiring new workers or increasing inventory.

Perhaps the most important aspect of having an in-house bakery in our restaurants is the fact that a bakery represents

freshness.

Our legendary Perkins^® pies and baked goods are made fresh daily, in-house, and because of this, have become a beloved feature of the Perkins^® experience. Our customers can taste the difference.

They love knowing that when they visit us, they're going to be treated like family, with kindness and dignity. It’s something that is very rare these days,”

Colli Kinsman

★★★★★

“I left the big city for a more wholesome, rural community life. I was able to use what I had learned to enhance our role in the franchise space and help JDK grow to be the largest Perkins® franchisee. We acquired 15 Perkins® locations in 2000, doubling our size. In 2019-2021 we did that again.”

Russell Berner
