Sunny Street Cafe

Sunny Street Cafe is a breakfast and lunch restaurant group known for classic American morning dishes served in a friendly, neighborhood setting. The brand began in 2007 when the Jones family opened the first location in Columbus, Ohio, with a focus on scratch-made pancakes, omelets, and specialty coffee. A significant milestone came in 2010 when the company expanded beyond Ohio, launching franchised restaurants in Texas, Missouri, Illinois, and Alabama.

As of November 2025, Sunny Street Cafe operates 26 locations across six states, with its presence most notable in the Midwest and South. Over the past five years, the company has maintained a steady pace of growth, concentrating on suburban and secondary markets. Recent expansion efforts have focused on Texas, Florida, and the Carolinas, where the company is actively seeking new franchise partners and sites. The brand typically selects high-traffic retail corridors and mixed-use developments, aiming to serve both weekday commuters and families on weekends.

Sunny Street Cafe’s approach to site selection and its adaptable restaurant formats have helped it become a reliable tenant for a variety of retail environments. Its consistent performance and franchising model continue to attract interest from landlords and developers looking for stable, community-oriented operators. The company’s executive and franchise development teams remain the primary contacts for new real estate opportunities, reflecting a hands-on approach to growth and site selection.
