Waffle House had a welcome announcement for customers of its
round-the-clock breakfast offerings: it has officially taken its egg
surcharge off the menu.
The Georgia-based chain that maintains an eerily accurate may also now
be providing a barometer for America’s food prices. The soaring price
of eggs due to a severe outbreak of the bird flu led .
It was a hefty surcharge for the chain’s most-ordered item: Waffle
House says on its website it serves 272 million eggs a year (that’s
more than its 153 million hash browns and 124 million of its namesake
waffles).
After months of surging egg prices, they finally began falling . Egg
prices fell 12.7% in April, and the USDA reported that a dozen large
white-shell eggs now cost less than $3.
“On my first day as Secretary, we got to work to implement a
five-pronged strategy to improve biosecurity on the farm and lower egg
prices on grocery store shelves. The plan has worked, and families are
seeing relief,” said US Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins in a
statement .
The BLS said egg prices were still more expensive than they did a year
earlier, but the decline was enough for chains like Waffle House to cut
their surcharges.
The chain operates more than 2,000 restaurants.
“Egg-cellent news…as of June 2, the egg surcharge is officially off
the menu. Thanks for understanding!,” the company said in an X post
Tuesday.
