Centennial, CO-based The Egg & I Restaurants announces the opening of its 63rd restaurant on Monday, October 15th. The restaurant opens at 6:00 a.m., and is located at 4600 Franklin Avenue in the Franklin Shopping Center southwest of Franklin Avenue and New Road.
On October 14th, the restaurant will donate 100% of all proceeds from its private, pre-opening training day to Pack of Hope, a non-profit organization dedicated to erasing child hunger in McLennan County by supplying participating school districts and their eligible students with backpacks filled with nutritious food to prevent hunger from Friday through Sunday while they are not in school. “Every donation made to Pack of Hope helps us send McLennan County students home on the weekends with adequate food supplies. We are so honored to have the support of The Egg & I of Waco,” said Jane Bounds, President of Pack of Hope.
“We are all very excited about this event to support Pack of Hope and about our new restaurant opening. The Waco community has already welcomed us with open arms and we can’t wait to become more involved in our new community and make new friends,” said Andrea Collins, General Manager of the new The Egg & I Restaurant. “We are also very pleased our restaurant is creating 30 new jobs in Waco.”
“The opening of our 63rd location is a significant accomplishment for all of us at The Egg & I Restaurants. I want to thank our entire team for their dedication and tireless efforts to ensure we deliver an exceptional guest experience every day in every restaurant,” commented Bill Baumhauer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of E&I Holdings, Inc., parent company of The Egg & I Restaurants. “We are excited to be opening new restaurants and bringing our award-winning breakfast and lunch entrees to the Waco community.”
