Peach’s Chain coming to Columbus

By: The Hegemo


A Florida breakfast-and-lunch restaurant chain is entering the Ohio market with an outlet near Grandview Heights expected to debut in November.

Bradenton, Fla.-based Peach’s Restaurants Inc. plans to open about 50 of its Peach’s Rise & Dine Restaurants in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus in the next five to seven years. The company’s franchising arm, Peach’s Franchise LLC, has tapped Columbus-based Buckeye Peach’s LLC to develop the sites.

  • I’ve never heard of it…

    The first thing that comes to mind for me (and this really shows my dorkiness)…

  • This could be fun …

    Mario & Luigi’s, a nice, everyman Italian restaurant managed by a hard-working duo of former plumbers.

    Yoshi’s, a new competitor to Japanese Steakhouse, albeit with larger portions (some of which cause the consumer to fly, spit fireballs, or cause small earthquakes by jumping up and down).

    I also see a new line of high-energy fitness supplements, Starman. I fear human-growth-hormone heavy Mushroom, however, will eventually be shut down by the FDA.

    Franchisee to open breakfast-and-lunch chain’s first Columbus location

    Tuesday, August 29, 2006

    Peach’s Rise & Dine Restaurants said yesterday that it hopes to have its first central Ohio location open in December near Grandview Heights. It will be owned by franchisee John Roo. The company isn’t ready to say exactly where it will be.

    The Bradenton, Fla., company also has awarded a development agreement for at least 50 more restaurants across Ohio to Michael Stasko and his Buckeye Peach’s LLC.

    The restaurants offer “good food, good service and good ambiance,” he said. “They are neighborhood gathering places.”

    Peach’s will try to emulate the central Ohio success of another Florida-based breakfast-andlunch chain, First Watch, which has grown to seven locations in the Columbus area since 1987.

  • Interesting, we’ll have to check them out. I still wish they would open a Denny’s around here though. I’ve heard that there used to be a few, but alas are all gone now, and I think the closest is up in Marion.

  • Oh, wow… i hadn’t realized Denny’s had closed. There was one up north, but I hadn’t been there in a long time. Crazy that they all closed up…
