SAN DIEGO, CA — Rise & Shine Hospitality Group plans to expand Breakfast Republic across Southern California while closing three longtime San Diego-area locations next month.
The company announced new Breakfast Republic restaurants are planned for Palm Springs, Orange County and Los Angeles. A spokesperson told Patch that the Palm Springs location is expected to open in October, Huntington Beach is planned for late February to early March, and Highland Park is scheduled for late February to early March.
Rise & Shine Hospitality Group will also open its first Breakfast Company restaurant in Texas later this year, launching the brand in the Dallas area, with Breakfast Republic locations also planned for the state.
As part of the company's real estate strategy, its Breakfast Republic restaurants in Encinitas, North Park and Ocean Beach will close after service on Aug. 9. Rise & Shine said the closures are due to lease expirations and strategic portfolio decisions.
The North Park restaurant, which opened in 2015, was the original Breakfast Republic. The Encinitas and Ocean Beach locations opened in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
The company will continue operating Breakfast Republic restaurants in San Diego's East Village, Liberty Station, Mission Valley, Pacific Beach and Scripps Ranch, as well as locations in Costa Mesa, Culver City, Echo Park, Irvine, Long Beach and Palm Desert.
Breakfast Company currently has restaurants in San Diego's Gaslamp and Mission Valley neighborhoods, as well as in West Hollywood.
Johan Engman, founder of Rise & Shine Hospitality Group, said the company is investing in new opportunities while continuing to evaluate its restaurant portfolio.
"We're incredibly excited about what's ahead," Engman said in a statement. "We're expanding Breakfast Republic's footprint throughout California while introducing Breakfast Company to Texas for the very first time. It's an exciting new chapter for our team, our guests, and our company."
Additional details about the planned openings are expected in the coming months.
