Expanding a Trusted Florida Restaurant Brand

Since opening its first restaurant in Orange Park, Florida, in 1999, Grumpy's Restaurant has grown by focusing on one simple mission:

Serve great food, provide genuine hospitality, and become a valued part of every community we serve.

That philosophy has helped Grumpy's earn a loyal following throughout Northeast Florida and positioned the brand for continued franchise expansion.

The Fleming Island restaurant represents another important milestone in Grumpy's long-term vision of growing responsibly while preserving the neighborhood diner experience guests know and love.

Bringing Grumpy's to Fleming Island

The new Grumpy's Restaurant will be located in Fleming Island, Florida, one of the fastest-growing communities in Clay County.

The restaurant will be owned and operated by the Hoard family, experienced Grumpy's franchise partners who successfully own the Grumpy's Restaurant in Middleburg.

Their continued investment reflects confidence in both the Grumpy's brand and the growing demand for high-quality breakfast, brunch, and lunch dining throughout Northeast Florida.

Working alongside Daniel DeLeon, President and CEO, and Morgan DeLeon, Vice President of Operations, the Hoard family is helping introduce the Grumpy's experience to even more guests.

More Than Expansion—A Commitment to Community

Every Grumpy's Restaurant is built around more than great food.

The company believes successful restaurants should strengthen the communities they serve by:

Creating local jobs

The Fleming Island location will continue that tradition by becoming an active member of the Clay County community.
