Experienced multi-unit restaurant operator brings neighborhood breakfast and lunch concept to the Poconos region as part of broader Pennsylvania expansion

STROUDSBURG, Pa. (June 1, 2026) – Eggs Up Grill, the fastest-growing daytime restaurant franchise in the country, is now open in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The new restaurant marks the first Eggs Up Grill location opened by Metz Group, a family-owned hospitality organization with decades of restaurant and foodservice experience.

Metz Group brings extensive experience operating and supporting nationally recognized restaurant brands including Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Dunkin’, Chick-fil-A and TGI Fridays. The company selected Eggs Up Grill as part of its continued strategic expansion into the growing breakfast restaurant industry. The Stroudsburg restaurant represents the first step in a broader multi-unit growth partnership between Eggs Up Grill and Metz Group as the brand continues expanding throughout Pennsylvania and the Northeast.

“Officially opening our first Eggs Up Grill restaurant and introducing the brand to the Stroudsburg community is an exciting first step for Metz Group,” said Rick Sell, VP of Operations at Metz Group. “From the beginning, we believed Eggs Up Grill offered something unique in the daytime dining space. The welcoming atmosphere and strong franchise support made this the right fit for our organization and for the communities we serve.”

The new restaurant features Eggs Up Grill’s signature neighborhood atmosphere and a full menu of breakfast, brunch and lunch favorites, including omelets, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, burgers, bowls and mimosas. Open daily from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., the concept is designed to serve families, professionals and local residents looking for a convenient, community-focused dining experience.

The Stroudsburg opening also supports local economic growth, bringing new jobs and career opportunities to the area as Eggs Up Grill continues expanding its presence across Pennsylvania. Additional locations developed through the partnership are expected to follow as the companies continue identifying opportunities throughout the state.

“Metz Group represents exactly the type of experienced multi-unit partner we want to grow alongside,” said Ricky Richardson, CEO of Eggs Up Grill. “Their hospitality expertise and community-first mindset make them an outstanding operator for Eggs Up Grill, and we are thrilled to see their first location now open in Pennsylvania as we continue building momentum throughout the Northeast.”
