Bloomington's own Scramblin’ Egg is about to go from mobile to static after cracking the competition in Hatch Bloomington. Owners Grant Veitenheimer and Nick Peterson have whipped up quite the following with their food truck, and it looks like they’re about to set up a permanent roost. Their winning pitch in the city’s inaugural business competition has secured them the top spot amid a sizzle of local entrepreneurs eager to deepen their roots in the community.
The breakfast duo managed to out-flip the competition through a two-round community vote, further seasoned with input from a judging panel peering over the Top 25, Top 10, and Top 3 finalists' pitches. According to a statement on the City of Bloomington's website, they've been dishing out fast, casual fare from their truck for the last year and a half. Planning now to quickly yet effectively establish their brick-and-mortar presence, the Hatch award might just be their golden ticket to potentially usher in a nationwide, or even global, expansion from their Bloomington beginnings.
The Hatch Bloomington competition supports the City’s strategic goals by fostering local entrepreneurship and encouraging innovative business ideas that benefit Bloomington’s future. The response has been outstanding, with 60 applicants presenting creative solutions to real-world challenges aimed at enhancing the city’s quality of life, the City of Bloomington noted.
