Scramblin’ Egg, the recent victor of the Hatch Bloomington contest, is setting its sights on a March opening for its first-ever static location. The entrepreneurial competition, which concluded in late August of 2024, granted the thriving food truck business a commencement package including a $100,000 financial boost, along with a promise of exposure and business networking opportunities in Bloomington's bustling retail scene.
Since being crowned the winner, Scramblin’ Egg has joined forces with the Minneapolis Regional Chamber. Their objective has been clear -- to transit from mobile meals to a permanent establishment in the heart of Bloomington. Though the food truck wrapped its season in November, the team, caught in the throes of setting up the new venue, has not had a moment to breathe. They're adding more than just walls; new menu items, like hashbrowns and a potentially irresistable biscuit bowl, are also simmering on the horizon.
"Everything has taken a little longer than expected," owner Grant Veitenheimer conceded in a statement released by City of Bloomington's official website. "It’s all so new to us. We are grateful for all the support and everyone’s patience as we make this transition." The journey from a nomadic food truck to a fixed eatery is marked by learning curves and construction curves alike, demanding patience and adaptation at every turn.
For patrons eager to dig into more than just the stories of construction delays and menu developments, up-to-the-minute updates on Scramblin’ Egg's journey towards their March opening can be found on their company website. The team remains committed to keeping diners informed and tantalized, in preparation for the day when they can finally welcome customers into their new space with the same warmth as a freshly made biscuit bowl.
