Grandy’s

Grandy’s is a regional restaurant chain known for serving homestyle comfort food, with a menu centered on breakfast favorites, fried chicken, and classic Southern sides. The company was founded in Dallas, Texas, in 1972, and quickly became a popular spot for hearty, made-from-scratch meals in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. During the 1980s and 1990s, Grandy’s expanded across the South and Midwest, at one point operating more than 100 locations and earning a loyal following for its cinnamon rolls and country-style breakfasts.

As of November 2025, Grandy’s operates 23 stores, with its footprint concentrated in Texas and Oklahoma and a few additional locations in neighboring states. The company is now based in Nashville, Tennessee, and has been under the ownership of Souper Salad, Inc. since 2011. Over the past five years, Grandy’s has focused on maintaining its core presence through selective remodels and limited new unit development, rather than aggressive expansion. The brand continues to prioritize its established markets, particularly in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, while remaining open to strategic growth opportunities in the South and Midwest.

Grandy’s offers flexible restaurant formats, including freestanding drive-thru units and endcap locations in retail centers. The chain’s steady traffic patterns and breakfast-oriented sales mix have helped it remain a reliable operator, even as the overall store count has declined from its peak due to market consolidation. In recent years, Grandy’s has adapted its menu and store designs to reflect changing consumer preferences, balancing its traditional appeal with ongoing updates to stay relevant in its core regions.
