March 08, 2021 // Franchising.com // JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Grumpy’s Restaurant president and CEO, Daniel DeLeon, has been recognized as one of FSR’s 29 Rising Restaurant Stars. Grumpy’s is no stranger to earning awards for its delicious food, work environment and outstanding leadership, and FSR’s award continues to prove the brand’s continued commitment to delivering the highest quality dining experience at an affordable price to families everywhere.
Dubbed the restaurant rescuer by FSR, in 2017 he purchased and turned around the floundering Grumpy’s and made it a successful franchise in 2019. Before taking the helm at Grumpy’s, DeLeon had not only owned and operated multiple restaurant franchise locations, but also grew six local businesses from the ground up. After having a successful career as a multi-unit franchisee, it’s no wonder he was able to completely transform Grumpy’s into the award-winning brand it is now.
During Covid-19, he gave up a part of his salary so that his staff can continue to bring home a paycheck, despite dining rooms being closed in the state of Florida. Daniel then, with the help of his employees, organized a produce giveaway for residents who couldn’t afford groceries. In addition, Grumpy’s gave back to frontline workers by allowing anyone to contribute and gift a meal to the workers, as well as people in need in the community and Grumpy’s matched each donation.
“Despite coronavirus shutting the doors of many restaurants, Grumpy’s has prevailed through these challenges and we are even opening new locations in the near future,” said DeLeon. “Our team showed how tough restaurants had to be to survive unprecedented times in the industry and FSR’s recognition is a huge honor for our restaurants.”
"After what has been a most tumultuous year, these 29 Rising Stars embody the creativity, resilience, and heart of the restaurant industry,” says Nicole Duncan, Editor of FSR magazine. “Daniel DeLeon has demonstrated an ability to not only rescue a struggling restaurant, but also set a solid foundation for franchising and expansion. Our team at FSR looks forward to seeing great things from Daniel in the future.”
Grumpy’s menu items are fresh, made to order and always made from scratch. The brand offers an array of daily and weekly chalk board specials which include a variety of sandwiches, homemade soups, salads, signature coffee, fresh squeezed juices, homemade hot chocolate, and desserts.

He has been recognized most recently by Nation’s Restaurant News’ 2021 “Power List Reader Picks,” a recognition that honors DeLeon as one of the most influential restaurant CEOs in the country. With NRN only identifying a select few CEOs from the record number of submissions it received this year, over 500 in total, DeLeon joins exclusive company thanks to his outstanding leadership in 2020.
Earlier this year, DeLeon has also been recognized as one of FSR’s 29 Rising Restaurant Stars of 2021. This accolade is wildly impressive, as there are two open restaurants, another opening in July, two more in development for 2021 and current plans to grow the brand even further.

The NRN and FSR awards continue to prove the brand’s overall exceptional standards when it comes to making an impact in the industry and the Jacksonville community.

He has extensive history in franchising and the restaurant space, previously owning and operating multiple restaurant franchise locations and he also grew six local businesses from the ground up. DeLeon has taken his lessons he’s learned from the very beginning of his career and used it to amplify his strategies in creating a better franchise brand.
DeLeon was able to become the “Restaurant Rescuer” of Grumpy’s, a nickname dubbed by his FSR award. In 2017, he purchased and completely revitalized the brand, making it a successful, award-winning franchise in 2019.
“I am humbled to receive this honorable award, there has been a lot of hard work to get the brand where it is today,” said DeLeon. “Where the state of the world was a year ago, it took perseverance from not only myself, but my entire team and staff at Grumpy’s, and for that, I credit them for their contribution to all of our successes.”
DeLeon is hoping to connect with new franchise partners who can carry out Grumpy’s’ mission to support others and create a welcoming, family-focused community. He is looking to expand the diner to areas all over Florida and the Southeast.

Did you know: The earliest credible evidence of coffee-drinking as the modern beverage appears in modern-day Yemen in southern Arabia in the middle of the 15th century in Sufi shrines where coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed in a manner similar to how it is now prepared for drinking. The Yemenis procured the coffee beans from the Ethiopian Highlands via coastal Somali intermediaries, and began cultivation. By the 16th century, the drink had reached the rest of the Middle East and North Africa, later spreading to Europe.
