Eggs Up Grill Franchisees Recognized Nationally as 2024 Franchise Rock Stars

July 18, 2024, SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Eggs Up Grill, a rapidly expanding breakfast, brunch and lunch concept, is proud to announce that Antwan and Jeremy Aiken have been identified by franchise research firm Franchise Business Review as being one of the 2024 Franchise Rock Stars in the Millennial category.

“It is with great excitement that we congratulate the Aikens on this well-deserved recognition as Franchise Rock Stars,” says CEO Ricky Richardson. “Not only do they go above and beyond in their community through the Aiken Foundation, they embody and have been recognized within our franchise community for outstanding guest culture and service in their restaurant and they are truly rock stars in our eyes.”

The Aikens were selected from hundreds of nominations. The couple own an Eggs Up Grill in Morrow, Ga., and have always led with the premise that community is a cornerstone of their business.

“We are honored to receive this national recognition from Franchise Business Review,” said Antwan Aiken. “We are so happy to be a part of the Eggs Up Grill family and we look forward to continuing to provide great food, smiles, jobs and support to the Morrow, Georgia community.”

The Aikens created the Aiken Foundation in 2019 with the mission of helping invest and build capacity for nonprofit organizations and local charities that are serving communities that look and feel like the Aikens. Eggs Up Grill awarded the Aikens with the “Neighbors Serving Neighbors” award in 2023, which recognizes franchise partners who have gone above and beyond in their community to raise awareness or money for local organizations.

“There are so many stories of inspiring franchise owners who are living their dreams of successful business ownership. Each franchisee brings unique abilities, values and skills to their franchise brand,” said Eric Stites, founder and CEO of Franchise Business Review. “We’ve seen that most successful franchise owners demonstrate an incredibly strong work ethic, a deep passion for their businesses, and a real commitment to their communities. Our Rock Star Awards are for those who truly go above and beyond in some special way. These individuals are truly assets to their company—and their passion resonates throughout the entire brand.”
