First Watch Cafe Corporate Office

First Watch Cafe was founded in 1983 by Ken Pendery and John Sullivan. The name refers to the first shift in nautical terms and it seems appropriate since the restaurant is only open between 7 AM and 2:30 PM.

The company has grown substantially, mainly through the acquisition of other restaurant chains.

In 2014, First Watch bought The Good Egg, which is located in Arizona. As of 2021, 18 of The Good Egg restaurants have been converted into First Watch restaurants.

In May 2015, the company acquired the Colorado-based Egg & I Restaurants chain. The Egg & I has 114 eateries across twenty states. It is unknown if all Egg & I restaurants will be rebranded as First Watch restaurants.

First Watch has a large presence in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado, and Arizona. First Watch and the Egg & I restaurants serve breakfast, brunch, and lunch and offer a wide variety of food items.

In October 2021, the restaurant chain went public on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol FWRG.

In March 2023, the company reported a strong 2022 report and an even stronger 2023 outlook.

First Watch Cafe maintains a corporate office in Bradenton, Florida.

Freshly Corporate Office

Michael Wystrach and Carter Comstock founded Freshly in 2012. Wystrach wanted to lose weight in a healthy manner and was frustrated that he was unable to find healthy foods that were tasty, healthy, and easy to make.

Comstock was influenced by his 4-H program and was looking for sustainability and a minimal amount of food waste.

Freshly seeks to combine both founders’ wishes.

Freshly is a New York based subscription delivery company that delivers one million meals per week.

In 2020 Freshly was acquired by Nestle for US$1.5 billion. It appears that Nestle intends to change the name since Freshly announced that they would no longer sell products after January 2023.

While Nestle may halt home delivery, it appears that it will soon have Freshly frozen meals available soon.

At this writing, Freshly maintains a corporate office in New York, New York.
