The breakfast franchise expands into Lafayette as multi-brand operator Marc Clapper drives Midwest entry.

  • Marc Clapper to open two Broken Yolk Cafe units in Indiana, first for the Midwest.
  • The first Lafayette location expected to debut this fall.
  • Clapper operates Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, plans operation synergies.
In a world where the sun never sets on the nation’s ever-consuming appetite for perfectly poached eggs and leisurely lattes, another culinary giant is planting its flag in fertile Midwestern soil. The renowned Broken Yolk Cafe, famous for its exceptional breakfast and brunch offerings, is poised to make its debut in the breadbasket of America. With a little help from franchisee Marc Clapper, the cafe is entering uncharted territory—Indiana.

Clapper, a seasoned operator who already juggles two Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers venues, sees the potential for a breakfast revolution in Lafayette. To the folks of Lafayette, imagine your early risings elevated to a symphony of taste that has somehow eluded this town until now. "Broken Yolk Cafe brings an elevated dining experience to breakfast and brunch that the Lafayette community has been without," he extols with unapologetic enthusiasm.

It’s a classic case of corporate synergy. While your crushed velvet mornings might end at the Yolk, Clapper’s arenas continue resonating with late-night burger bonanzas at Freddy's. "There's a good deal of synergy between Broken Yolk Cafe and Freddy's," Clapper states, likening his business operations to the flawless movement of a Swiss watch.

This strategic development marks the cafe's sixth state conquest, expanding beyond its Western roots, and dropping anchor in the heart of Indiana. Clapper’s journey of introducing this brand to the Midwest is nothing short of heraldic, as it ventures into Lafayette and promises delicious mornings ahead.
