Breakfast chain The Big Biscuit chooses site for its second Wichita restaurant
Wichita’s first The Big Biscuit restaurant is under construction in an old Mexican restaurant space at 2330 N. Maize Road and on track for an October opening.
Now, the Kansas City-based breakfast chain is sharing where it will open the second of its planned four corporate-owned restaurants in the Wichita metro area.
On Friday, a Big Biscuit spokesman said that the chain will be taking over the old Jimmy’s Egg spot at Douglas and Hydraulic. Jimmy’s Egg vacated the building, whose address is 106 S. Hydraulic, at the end of last year.
The second Big Biscuit restaurant should open in early 2026. Derby and northeast Wichita are two other areas the chain is targeting, and all four restaurants should be open within the next three years, the spokesman said.
The Big Biscuit, which has nearly 30 locations in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas, got its start in 2000. Restaurateur Dan Gerson opened the first one in Independence, Missouri, and five years later added a second in Blue Springs, Missouri.
The chain’s president and co-CEO Chad Offerdahl said that he and his father, David Offerdahl, fell in love with the concept and bought it from Gerson in 2023. Since then, the chain has expanded to three other states, though most of the restaurants are in the Kansas City area.
The Big Biscuit, which opens from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in its other markets, serves a big menu of breakfast dishes including biscuits and gravy, omelets, pancakes, Benedicts, waffles, french toast and breakfast sandwiches. It also serves lunch items like salads, burgers, sandwiches and fried chicken strips.
The restaurant chain is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
