Huddle House, the nation’s iconic all-day breakfast restaurant and neighborhood gathering place, is officially opening for business in the Jonesboro community. The new location, which is set to open on Tuesday, June 29, is conveniently located at 2180 East Highland Drive and marks the 6th Arkansas-based restaurant for the brand. 

The diner will be locally owned and operated by multi-unit franchise partner and Vice President of Glenmar Enterprises, Bobby Byram III. For Byram, owning and operating Huddle House restaurants across Arkansas has been the family business for more than 15 years. Beginning with his father’s first location in Osceola, the Byram’s opened another Huddle House restaurant in Paragould.  Bobby Byram III is eager to carry on the family legacy by bringing the brand’s homestyle comfort foods to Jonesboro, the third restaurant under the family’s ownership. 

“Our goal for the Jonesboro community is to cultivate an atmosphere in which each of our guests are truly cared for and treated like family,” said Bobby Byram III, owner of the Jonesboro restaurant. “With Huddle House’s commitment to warm hospitality, we’re looking forward to introducing residents to our famous all-day-and-night breakfast options in a welcoming environment where their names and orders are known by heart.”

To ensure that customers can enjoy their homestyle meals safely, the Huddle House team has adapted the dining experience to create a safe and enjoyable environment for customers and employees. In addition to dining in, customers in Jonesboro can enjoy Huddle House at home and on the go by ordering online through the Huddle House app, where curbside pickup is available. The Huddle House app is available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store

“Given Bobby’s long history of restaurant experience and strong family ties with Huddle House, we are humbled by his desire to continue spreading the brand’s mission within the Jonesboro community,” says Peter Ortiz, Chief Development Officer of Huddle House. “His personal and operational expertise positions him for great success in the city, and we’re confident that the new restaurant will flourish under his ownership.”

Byram III is eager to continue expanding with the goal of opening two new Huddle House locations in untapped markets within Arkansas state. The brand’s flexible formats and access to the $285 billion breakfast segment, make the concept an exciting prospect for multi-unit operators looking to diversify. Huddle House’s delicious all-day breakfast, Southern hospitality and big portions at fair prices allow the restaurant to embed itself into every community it serves by bringing friends and families together over delicious food, served from the heart.

Based in Atlanta, today the brand has more than 300 locations open or in development.
