About Village Inn
Village Inn has become a beloved comfort food staple throughout the U.S. Our refreshed store design is warm, inviting and modern, bringing in new and long-time fans alike to enjoy our famous made-from-scratch pancakes and pies. We serve high-quality breakfast food all day long, as well as mouth-watering sandwiches and hearty dinner entrees.
The first Village Inn Pancake House opened in 1958. More than just a place to eat, Village Inn became a destination for vacationers. Now, six decades later, Village Inn is known for boasting an all-day breakfast menu, as well as lunch, dinner and award-winning pies which provides our franchise owners an additional revenue stream.
When you walk into one of our new stores, you are immediately greeted with a dazzling display of our fresh pies and baked goods, giving customers a preview of the elevated experience they’re about to have. We have also brought a new focus to our plate presentation — our new offerings and classic dishes alike are all artfully plated, so that customers know that what they’re about to eat has been made with care.

With low food costs, high amounts of brand equity and name recognition, an amazing pie business within the store, and customers who crave habitual dining, breakfast delivers.
Another reason that breakfast foods are becoming increasingly popular is that they are easy to prepare and can be served swiftly. This is particularly important for busy customers who are looking for a quick and convenient meal option.
We prioritize supporting and guiding our franchisees. We are data-driven in our decision-making, and we continuously work to improve our systems, boost sales, maintain efficient labor and food costs, and implement best practices for our franchisees.
