“These are exciting times for Perkins, especially as we enter a new, major market," said Peter Ortiz, chief development officer for Ascent Hospitality Management, parent company to Perkins American Food Co. "We are honored to team up with Bansari, Chetana, and Naren to expand our footprint and explore new territories, while upholding the core values that have driven our success for decades.”
The three planned restaurants will feature Perkins’ latest prototype, blending the brand’s nostalgic identity with a more contemporary design and updated menu experience. The refreshed concept aims to attract a broader, modern audience while retaining the familiarity that longtime customers value, the release stated.
