Perkins’ Place in the Restaurant Industry

Perkins occupies a unique niche in the $899 billion restaurant industry as a popular spot to enjoy any meal at any time of the day. We’re famous for being a breakfast franchise because, although we offer lunch and dinner menus, our breakfast menu is popular day and night. This aligns with national trends as well: 69% of Americans love eating breakfast for dinner! That’s great news for our franchisees because breakfast items carry high profit margins.
Our brand further stands out from the competition because we’re able to cross over into the bakery franchise sector. Perkins restaurants feature bakeries from which customers can purchase cookies, pies, muffins, and other sweet treats to go. The bakery industry alone is worth around $11 billion, and Perkins franchisees are able to claim a slice of that demand for themselves.
