Franchisee To Build 2 Broken Yolk Cafe Units in Indiana

Marc Clapper has signed a development deal to bring Broken Yolk Cafe to Indiana, marking the brand's first entry into the Midwest.

Clapper, who operates two Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers locations, will open two Broken Yolk Cafe units in Lafayette. The first is expected to debut this fall.

"Broken Yolk Cafe brings an elevated dining experience to breakfast and brunch that the Lafayette community has been without," Clapper shared. "It's a proven concept whose culture has been built on kindness, human connection, and incredible food. To build a foothold for the brand here in Indiana is a privilege, and I'm hopeful that these first two locations are just the start."

He also cited the concept's two-daypart model, which allows him to balance operations across brands.

"There's a good deal of synergy between Broken Yolk Cafe and Freddy's. As the former is winding down for the day, the latter is just starting to pick up. From an operator's perspective, it reaffirms my commitment to welcoming the best breakfast and brunch in Lafayette," Clapper said.

The deal expands Broken Yolk Cafe's footprint to a sixth state and continues its push beyond its Western U.S. base. The brand currently operates 42 locations nationwide.
