After 25 years in business, a Missouri-based\u00a0breakfast<\/a> and lunch chain is targeting Texas as its next expansion destination.<\/p>\n

The team behind The Big Biscuit<\/a>, which has 30 locations across the Midwest and South, has its sights set on development opportunities in the Dallas\u2013Fort Worth<\/a> and Houston regions, according to a recent call for franchisees. But a few other additional markets across the state are under evaluation, too.<\/p>\n

“As we look to expand into Houston, Texas is a natural step for The Big Biscuit,” president and CEO Chad Offerdahl said in an announcement. “Communities across Houston value the same thing we do: connection, hospitality, and a breakfast restaurant to bring people together. We’re looking for experienced restaurant operators who share our passion for hospitality and community initiatives, who are committed to quality food and operational excellence.”<\/p>\n

Aside from big (freshly baked buttermilk) biscuits, The Big Biscuit serves a variety of comfort brunch bites like plate-sized pancakes, loaded chicken and waffles, stacked sandwiches, burgers, specialty grits and something called “scram-bowls.” These are bowls filled with scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, meats and veggies.<\/p>\n

Dan Gerson founded The Big Biscuit, opening its original location in 2000 in Independence, Mo. A decade later, after a visit to that very same eatery, Offerdahl and his father bought the business from Gerson. Since, the concept has launched locations in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

The Big Biscuit isn’t the only biscuit brand heating up Texas’ brunch scene. North Carolina’s Bojangles<\/a> recently opened its first Austin-area location in Manor, with more opening near Dallas-Fort Worth in the coming months. Later this fall, Kentucky’s Biscuit Belly<\/a> is also planning to opening its first Texas location in Houston’s Heights neighborhood.<\/p>\n
