Industry vets from Firehouse Subs, IHOP will open four Eggs Up Grills in Columbus

August 22, 2023 // Franchising.com // SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Eggs Up Grill, a breakfast, brunch and lunch concept, signed a multi-restaurant development agreement with industry veterans Paul and Sheryl Belle, their grandson Mitchell Belle and their longtime valued operations manager Josh O’Neil. Belle Restaurant Management, LLC will open four Eggs Up Grills in the Columbus, Ohio market. The group’s collective background includes Firehouse Subs and IHOP. Mitchell and Josh will operate the restaurants with plans to open the first location in early 2024.

Paul and Sheryl Belle are native Ohioans and currently own a Firehouse Subs franchise in Columbus. Previously they were area representatives with Firehouse Subs, developing central and northeastern Ohio and overseeing restaurants. They sold the business in 2021. Prior to Firehouse Subs, Paul Belle was an IHOP franchisee and partner with restaurants in northern Virginia. He currently serves on the board of the Ohio Restaurant Association and is chairman of the National Restaurant Association United Healthcare Restaurant Trust. Belle says he is looking forward to this new chapter in the family business. It provides Mitchell and Josh new growth opportunities, and it continues to build a legacy for Belle Restaurant Management.

“We couldn’t be more excited to begin this new journey,” said Paul Belle. “Having a deep understanding of the profitability of a breakfast menu, we were drawn to the economics of Eggs Up Grill, the appeal of a single shift operation and the culture of the brand. It was also important to us how receptive Ricky and his team were to our questions and feedback. Ricky’s leadership and knowledge is impressive as he leads the company. We knew this was the best breakfast franchise to bring to our home state of Ohio.”
