Scramblers Brands

Scramblers Brands operates Scrambler Marie's, a family-owned restaurant concept specializing in breakfast and lunch service, open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Founded in 1989 by Shain and Phil Buerk in Toledo, Ohio, the original Secor Road location remains operational and continues to serve as the flagship establishment. The restaurant's menu,... which has remained largely unchanged since inception, draws from the founders' combined expertise: Phil Buerk's background as a multiple-unit Wendy's franchisee and Shain's experience in the breakfast business, supplemented by family input reflected in menu items bearing family members' names. The concept gained recognition as "Best Breakfast in Town" and expanded to serve the Maumee, Findlay, and Columbus, Ohio markets as demand grew. The business maintains its family-operated structure across all locations, with multiple generations of the Buerk family involved in daily operations, including hostessing, management, and support roles. To capitalize on its regional success and brand recognition, Scramblers Brands established Scrambler Marie's Franchise Development, LLC to pursue nationwide expansion opportunities. The company is actively developing a franchise model targeting both individual owner-operators and multi-unit master franchisees, with a strategic growth plan focused on metropolitan areas across the Midwest, including Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, as well as dynamic Southeastern markets such as Georgia, the Carolinas, Florida, and Tennessee. The company projects steady but aggressive franchise growth with plans to open new locations annually. Throughout its evolution, Scramblers Brands has maintained core operational ideals centered on serving distinctive breakfast offerings prepared with fresh ingredients, positioning the concept as a differentiated player in the competitive breakfast and casual dining segment.Read More
