Founded in 2024, Twisted Egg Shack is a fast-casual breakfast, brunch, and lunch concept with primarily drive-thru-focused locations. The brand signed two franchise agreements, entering into three new markets: one in Florida's Tampa Bay and two in the greater Houston area.
Behind the concept are Chris Milton, co-founder of Toasted Yolk Café; Bret Baumgartner, Toasted Yolk’s top-performing franchise partner; James Gray, head of corporate operations and support; and Clay Carson, a franchise development veteran with over 80 premium breakfast and lunch openings under his belt.
“We opened our first drive-thru location in Beaumont, Texas, on September 16th and were immediately blown away by the response,” says Milton. “Sales far exceeded projections, and guest feedback has been phenomenal. Not too long after that, the franchise inquiries started coming in.”
“By focusing on second-generation drive-thru sites and engineering a model with an investment ideally under $400,000, we’re setting franchisees up for strong returns,” says Carson. “Our support system is already built – our tech and ops feel like a 10-year-old brand. This concept could not be better suited for franchise investment.”
