Waffle House takes its egg surcharge off the menu
With an
exciting announcement of its round-the-clock breakfast offerings, Waffle House
has formally slumped its egg surcharge.
Responsible
for maintaining an eerily accurate index for natural catastrophe, the Georgia
based chain would also now be laying out a barometer for America’s food price. Back
in February, Waffle House had to hike the 50-cent surcharge on every egg it sold
due to a sharp surge in eggs price that led by an acute outbreak of the bird flu.
Waffle House’s
most-ordered items weigh it up as a hefty surcharge, the website of chain cites
it sell 272 million eggs annually (that figure outpaced its 153 million hash browns
and 124 million of its namesake waffles).
In the spring,
downtick in egg prices is seen as a welcome news after it remained soaring for
months. With 12.7% plunge in egg prices, the USDA
reported a dozen large white-shell eggs price is less than $3 right now.
“My first
working day as Secretary led us getting to work to enact a five-prolonged strategy
that looked to bolster biosecurity on the farms and bring down egg prices on grocery
store shelves. With an implantation of a successful plan, Americans are getting
a sigh of relief,” told US Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins in a statement
last week.
The egg
prices aren’t as low as they were a year earlier, but the slide persuades the
need of chains like Waffle House to drop their surcharges.
Waffle House
runs more than 2,000 restaurants.
