Joey Eguia and Collins Orr, through their company 1836 Brands, have signed an exclusive area development agreement to spearhead Twisted Egg Shack's growth throughout Texas.
Under the agreement, 1836 Brands will oversee the development of more than 60 Twisted Egg Shack restaurants across Texas, making it one of the largest area development commitments in the young brand's history.
The first locations are already in the works with restaurants planned for the League City and Cypress trade areas in the Houston metropolitan market.
Eguia brings more than three decades of restaurant leadership experience to the partnership. He has held leadership roles at Fajita Pete's, Wings 'N More, BreWingz, and Bayou City Wings and has built a reputation for operational excellence, franchise growth, and developing high-performing restaurant teams. Together with Orr, 1836 Brands combines extensive operations expertise with deep experience in restaurant development, marketing, and commercial real estate.
"We have been looking for something exciting and different in the breakfast and lunch category. Twisted Egg Shack checks off all of the boxes with virtually no competition. There is huge runway for growth. With our connections, we are looking forward to making this the hands-down category leader," Eguia said.
The Texas announcement comes as Twisted Egg Shack continues adding experienced franchise operators throughout the country.
"We couldn't be more excited to welcome Joey, Collins, and the entire 1836 Brands team to the Twisted Egg Shack family," said Chris Milton, co-founder of Twisted Egg Shack. "They understand every aspect of growing restaurant brands. Their experience gives us an incredible advantage as we continue expanding throughout Texas."
Co-Founder Clay Carson said, "1836 brings decades of hands-on restaurant operations experience and deep knowledge of restaurant marketing and real estate. It's the one-two punch we've been looking for to fast-track growth with the brand. They aren't just experienced operators; they're exceptional franchise partners who understand exactly what it takes to build successful restaurants."
