A national breakfast and lunch chain plans is eyeing locations in the Lehigh Valley as part of larger expansion into Pennsylvania.
Eggs Up Grill is “currently targeting development opportunities in markets” in Allentown as well Lancaster, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Scranton, a Tuesday news release announced.
The online menu lists options such as chicken-fried steak and eggs, biscuits and gravy, bacon, omelets, pancakes, waffles, doughnuts, sandwiches and salads.
