    Why Own a Perkins® Restaurant & breakfast Franchise?

    We are Perkins American Food Co.

    Here, hard work, family ties and a whole lot of humility share a table with kindness, abundance and all the joys of life, big and small. We’re forever a step forward and always evolving – just like the communities we serve.

    Perkins is where modern American hospitality comes to life for the eclectic tastes of today’s adventurous diners. Hearty meals they crave. Tried-and-true classics they love. And culinary twists that unite tradition and innovation on the same plate. Hand-crafted. Culturally inspired. Generously portioned. It’s how modern American food should be.

    Thanks to our Cincinnati beginning and Midwestern roots, we’re idealistic about preserving what was, and wide open to what’s next. The humble pancake house from the heartland is now a leading national brand refashioned for the USA of today.

    Same soul. New attitude.

This model significantly reduces the required footprint without sacrificing the full-service feel that our restaurants are known for.

    ★★★★★

    “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.”
