Wild Eggs is bringing its breakfast, brunch and lunch concept to Cypress, with a planned restaurant at 9814 Fry Road, Suite 240, in Cypress Creek Plaza. The Louisville-born brand’s arrival would give a former Japanese restaurant space a new identity built around dishes such as chicken and waffles, chilaquiles and creative egg breakfasts.
The Wild Eggs Cypress project comes as the company expands beyond its Midwest base. Its official directory currently lists 19 open restaurants across Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, with no operating Texas location listed. Several Texas projects are developing, leaving the order of their openings unsettled.
Wild Eggs Cypress will transform the former Sapporo space
Suite 240 previously housed Sapporo Japanese Cuisine & Bar. An April 2023 public notice identifies that business at the exact Fry Road address and suite, documenting the restaurant history behind the new project.
Wild Eggs plans a 4,107-square-foot interior renovation estimated at $730,000. The work covers the dining area, kitchen and restrooms, along with mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. It is a substantial restaurant-to-restaurant conversion within an existing shopping center.
The size also fits the brand’s established restaurant model. Wild Eggs’ 2023 franchise disclosure document described restaurants of approximately 3,500 to 4,500 square feet. The Cypress plan falls near the middle of that documented range.
Elsewhere along Fry Road, TCM has covered Motherland Hub African Mart’s move to a larger space at 7130 Fry Road. The projects occupy different centers, but both reflect businesses investing in existing commercial space along the corridor.
From Louisville beginnings to a wider expansion
JD Rothberg and Shane Hall founded Wild Eggs in Louisville in 2007. The concept grew around breakfast, brunch and lunch, pairing familiar morning dishes with more elaborate combinations. The company’s history identifies Dutchmans Lane as the setting for its first restaurant.
PG Growth Opportunities acquired Wild Eggs in January 2023, beginning a new growth phase under CEO Andy Abbajay. The company launched its current franchise expansion program that July, and its published leadership material describes a goal of more than 35 restaurants by 2028.
Rothberg returned in 2024 to oversee operations and franchise quality. That is a historical part of the expansion story: in a September 14, 2026 statement, Wild Eggs clarified that neither founder currently holds an ownership stake or company role.
What’s on the menu for Wild Eggs Cypress?
Wild Eggs’ current menu provides a preview of the concept. Its Chicken & Waffle combines a savory waffle with Nashville hot chicken, bacon and a maple-buttermilk syrup. The combination brings crunch, heat and sweetness to the same plate.
Mexico City Chilaquiles takes a different direction, combining tortillas and beans with green salsa, queso blanco and an egg. Diners choose pulled chicken or ground chorizo, with home fries alongside.
The menu also includes omelets, pancakes, French toast and Benedict variations. That range gives a breakfast group room to split between something sweet, a familiar egg plate and a more elaborate brunch dish. These are examples from the brand’s current menu; the Cypress opening menu has not been announced.
How Wild Eggs Cypress fits into the Texas expansion
Grande Eggs, a separate joint venture with Wild Eggs, is developing the concept in Central Texas. Its published plan calls for seven restaurants: three in the Austin area, three in the San Antonio area and one in the San Marcos area.
The venture’s announced territory covers the Austin–San Antonio corridor rather than Cypress. Grande Eggs says its first San Antonio restaurant is in development, with the address and opening date still to come.
Cypress is therefore part of a broader Texas arrival alongside that Central Texas program. Neither a construction schedule nor a development announcement establishes which restaurant will welcome Texas customers first.
When is Wild Eggs opening in Cypress?
The Wild Eggs construction registration, TABS2027002496, lists work from October 15, 2026, through January 15, 2027. January 15 is the filed construction-completion estimate, not a confirmed opening day.
The filing names Cypress Creek Plaza LLC as owner, Ben Rush as tenant contact and 993 Architecture LLC of York, South Carolina, as design firm. It identifies the work as tenant-funded.
The next milestone for Wild Eggs Cypress is an opening announcement. The planned conversion brings a new breakfast destination to a familiar Fry Road restaurant address as the brand expands across Texas.
