Breakfast Republic Opens Brunch Restaurant in Scripps Ranch | Eater San Diego

"There's no stopping the swift rise of Breakfast Republic: its 13th Southern California location opens in Scripps Ranch on March 1, replacing the chicken-sandwich spot My Chick in the Trader Joe’s shopping center. The new 2,101-square-foot restaurant includes a 500-square-foot patio, and after a pandemic slowdown founder Johan Engman is poised to roll out a handful of new restaurants quickly — including a paired Breakfast Republic/Eggies spot in downtown La Jolla in mid-April, future openings in Culver City and Long Beach later this summer and fall, and multiple Mission Valley outlets (including the Camino de la Reina branch) that will give him three daytime-oriented restaurants in that area. Engman says he has several more locations currently in the works." - Candice Woo
