LAS VEGAS — Egg Works is closing two Las Vegas locations as founder Brad Burdsall downsizes the breakfast chain to enter semi-retirement and care for his aging parents in Florida.
Burdsall has been in the breakfast business since 1998, when he and a partner bought the Egg and I restaurant.
“Me and a partner actually bought the Egg and I. We ran the Egg and I together for about 10 years,” Burdsall said. “About 10 years after that, we decided to go our own direction. So I went out and I started developing Egg Works around town.”
The Rainbow and Flamingo locations are shutting down. At its peak, Egg Works operated seven locations across the valley.
Burdsall said the decision is driven by family needs.
“It really has to do with me wanting to get down to Florida to take care of my parents as they’re in their mid-80s this year,” he said.
He continued, “I’ve tried to move to Sarasota about two years ago. I had a house that was hit with a couple of hurricanes, so we had to deal with that but now we’re in a position where we’re going to start maybe heading down there next month.”
The chain has served generations of customers over the years.
“You see them when they’re coming in as infants to now they’re graduating high school to then they’re going to college and then they’re coming in when they’re getting married and then they start having kids. You’re just seeing all these life changes,” Burdsall said.
Burdsall said Egg Works will continue operating with his daughter joining the business. “My daughter is just now starting to work at the company. She’s 25, and she’s going to go to Egg Works University and really learn the ropes on how to run these things.”
Burdsall added, “It’s been an honor and so much fun watching it grow and watching my people grow too as I’m doing this.”
While the Flamingo location is closing Sunday, April 5, there are still five Egg Works restaurants across the valley that are open.
