Wichita breakfast restaurant is expanding again, this time to 37th and Maize Road
The former Chick N Max space at 3520 N. Maize Road is about to get a new tenant — a locally owned breakfast chain that is expanding again.
Eduardo Gonzalez said that he’s taking over the space for a third location of The Easy Egg, a breakfast-and-lunch restaurant that also operates at 5700 W. Kellogg and 3130 N. Rock Road.
Gonzalez said he’s about to sign the contract for the space and hopes to have the restaurant open in mid-June.
“That area is growing a lot, and there are a lot of new businesses going into that area,” Gonzalez said. “The opportunity came up, and I’m going to take it. Hopefully, it’s a good one.”
Chick N Max first opened in the space in January 2019. It closed in early March.
Gonzalez started The Easy Egg at 240 N. Main in Haysville in 2019. Two years later, he moved the restaurant to Wichita, saying he wasn’t busy enough during the week in Haysville.
His first Wichita restaurant opened in the former Denny’s building on West Kellogg in August 2021, then last spring, he added the Rock Road restaurant in a space formerly occupied by Mr. Miyagi Japanese Grill.
The northwest location of The Easy Egg will have the same menu of breakfast and lunch specialties as the other two restaurants, where chilaquiles remains the most popular dish, Gonzalez said.
It will also have the same hours: 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily.
If the 37th and Maize restaurant works out, Gonzalez said, he would consider adding one more restaurant and would likely target the downtown area.
“Let’s see what happens.”
