MANCHESTER, NH – Are you a breakfastarian? According to a recent Reuters article, U.S. restaurants are betting on breakfastarians for growth as sales of coffee and other breakfast items out pace lunch and dinners items.
Breakfastarians are defined as those amongst us who would eat breakfast any time of the day, every day, if given the opportunity. Despite a recent sharp rise in the price of eggs, breakfast is still the most popular meal of the day to be eaten outside the home. For many restaurants this means starting to offer breakfast all day.
The National Restaurant Association’s 2014 survey reports that 72 percent of adults in the U.S. want restaurants to offer breakfast items all day. While franchises like Dunkin Donuts, Denny’s and IHOP cater to this once niche crowd, industry analysts say we are going to see more and more restaurants stretch their breakfast menu well past the dinner hour in an effort to drive sales.
In Manchester, a handful of restaurants already do that. Want breakfast for dinner? Check out these spots:
