Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it’s
everyone’s favorite. When you package a homestyle meal that everyone
loves with amazing Southern hospitality, a half-century of tradition and
a lively American diner that serves any meal of the day at any time of
the day, you have Huddle House - America’s iconic breakfast franchise.
Royal Waffle King restaurants are strategically located along major highways. Primarily, we are concentrating on major cities in and around the southeast, along with well established smaller communities with strong owner operator franchisees.
When possible common-used properties with other companies are used to secure superior locations. By offering you the option of choosing a store that’s co-branded with key regional anchor stores like motels, truck stops, convenience stores and strip shopping centers. This synergistic technique of joint property usage also allows us to reduce building costs of common property features like grading, driveways, paving, utilities, joint signage etc.
Expansion at Royal Waffle King is carefully planned. We currently have sites planned all over the southeast with new store construction starting on a continuous schedule.
