Which breakfast chains have been hit the hardest by rising prices?
No, it’s not just Americans at home being hit hard by rising egg prices. Your favorite breakfast spots are as well.
A study from FinanceBuzz examined which fast-casual restaurants have raised prices the most over the last five years.
In total, the prices at chain restaurants increased about 42% on average in the five-year period.
What are the two chains that increased prices the most? They both happen to be breakfast chains.
The leader is southern-based chain Waffle House, which has raised prices by an astounding 96% in the last five years, according to Finance Buzz. Waffle House has thousands of locations across the nation and is mainly known as a late-night spot to grab some grub.
It doesn’t have any locations in California, although there are 15 in Arizona.
In second place, however, is a chain that will be familiar to Californians. IHOP, first opened in Burbank and headquartered in Glendale, has locations across the world.
IHOP’s prices have increased by 82% across the five-year period, according to FinanceBuzz.
Other chains that have raised prices above the national average include Texas Roadhouse (46%) and TGI Fridays (45%).
