Popular breakfast destination Spyro’s Pancake House is changing its name. In a Facebook post, the restaurant announced they will take on the moniker Breakfast Clubb II.
Rest assured, management says it’s a change in branding, but the staff and menus will remain. The only changes you’ll see are the name, signage, imaging, and website.
The reimagining will take place over the next few weeks. The food, staffing, and hours are unaffected.
Breakfast Clubb II is located at 6455 W. Jefferson Blvd. in the Village at Time Corners.
And if you are wondering, yes, there is a Breakfast Clubb I. It’s the former Cosmo’s restaurant at 3232 St. Joe Center Road, near the Marketplace of Canterbury. Both are under the same ownership.
