AMERICA, September 1, 2023 – The Best Breakfast in Town ® is getting better next week thanks to the King of Breakfast: Shoney’s.

Shoney’s will continue to be the category leader for breakfast. As we say around here, ‘Let’s Eat’”
In order to maintain Shoney’s morning dominance, Mr. Davoudpour leaned on many and listened to all, including its valued franchise system. Shoney’s also received counsel from its supplier partners to ensure value was maintained for Shoney’s guests for which Shoney’s is famous.
“No corners were cut here,” said Mr. Davoudpour. “The goal was am even better breakfast and we nailed it. Loyal fans will still have their
favorites and more, while new guests will be completely mesmerized by the amazing options, both signature staples and new items.”

what equated to an exemplary report card, as in straight As.
“This is big deal for Shoney’s,” concluded Mr. Davoudpour. “I am not a ‘rest on your laurels’ kind of guy. I love this brand, bought this
brand and am absolutely committed to having it be the go-to for value, friendly service, a smiling face or a well-meant handshake and the best breakfast you’ve ever had in your life. Until tomorrow morning, of course.”
