Expect to see a couple more pancake kitchens in the near future. Staks Pancake Kitchen announced today that it had secured an additional Shelby County location in Collierville, via a second franchise agreement with local entrepreneur Nick Bolander.
“We are excited about expanding the Staks brand with Nick,” says Brice Bailey, owner of Staks Pancake Kitchen. “Nick brings a great energy to the brand and we look forward to seeing Staks grow locally
and serving Collierville and more.”
The Collierville Staks is set to open later this year, with Bolander looking at potential locations along the Poplar corridor and creating the largest Staks to date. Beyond Tennessee, he is also set to open a franchise in Omaha, Nebraska.
“Growing up working in restaurants, I have always wanted to own one and teach my kids the service industry,” Bolander says. “When the opportunity to bring our favorite brunch spot to Collierville came about, we absolutely could not pass it up. Staks’ passion using locally sourced ingredients and embracing fair trade practices is something we share and the difference you taste when you eat at Staks. We are looking forward to supporting our community with pride in the products and excellent customer service to be provided.”
The upscale, fast-casual breakfast and lunch restaurant originally opened in 2015, and currently has three local locations in Memphis, Germantown, and Southaven, Mississippi.
Last year, Bailey announced the restaurant’s plans to franchise the Staks brand in 10 new locations, the first of which would be in Atlanta.
