December 15, 2025 // Franchising.com // WICHITA, Kan. – The Big Biscuit, a modern All-American breakfast and lunch franchise concept known for its impossibly generous portions and genuine hometown hospitality, is set to open its first location in Wichita. This marks the brand’s 30th restaurant systemwide as it celebrates 25 years.
The restaurant is scheduled to celebrate a grand opening on December 17 and is situated at 2330 N Maize Road. To celebrate the milestone 30th opening, The Big Biscuit of Wichita is offering:
The corporate-owned restaurant will be managed and operated locally, with the additional support from President and CEO Chad Offerdahl and VP of Operations Scott Jayne. The brand's 30th location opening also marks the first of four restaurants set to debut under a corporate development agreement, expanding The Big Biscuit’s footprint across Wichita. The second restaurant is slated to open in early 2026 at 106 South Hydraulic Avenue, with two additional corporate-owned locations planned for Northeast Wichita (7777 E 21st St N) and Derby (1906 N Rock Road) over the next year and a half.
Offerdahl was first introduced to The Big Biscuit at its original location in Independence, Missouri, during a visit with his father, David Offerdahl, co-owner and partner of the brand. From that experience, both were immediately drawn to the classic menu offerings, including abundant portions of classic breakfast and lunch favorites. In 2010, the two acquired the concept, bringing extensive experience in franchising and restaurant operations to the table. Since then, they have remained committed to developing teams and systems to scale. The Big Biscuit, through both organic growth and franchising, shares its passion for high-quality food, genuine hometown hospitality, and generous, classic All-American breakfast and lunch with guests and communities across the region.
“We couldn’t be more proud to celebrate our 30th opening here in Wichita,” said Chad Offerdahl, President & CEO of The Big Biscuit. “From that very first restaurant to number 30, our journey has been built one biscuit, one guest, one team member, and one community at a time. Wichita is a thriving and welcoming city, and we’re eager to build lasting connections while becoming a part of the local dining scene. This milestone isn’t just about growth, it’s about staying true to the guest experience that defines The Big Biscuit as we look toward the future of our restaurant.”
With a 25-year legacy and a growing regional presence, The Big Biscuit is quickly becoming a major player in the breakfast and lunch category. Now operating 30 locations across Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri, The Big Biscuit is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025 and recently launched its largest menu refresh in over five years. New additions include Birthday Cake Pancakes, creative twists on chicken & waffles, Chicken Biscuits, cherry beverages, and new flavor profiles for country grits.
The Big Biscuit, which opened its first franchise location in 2020, is actively expanding with franchisees passionate about bringing a community-first breakfast concept to new markets. Ideal candidates have restaurant experience, strong operating teams, and a hunger for growth.
