Pearland residents will soon have a new 24-hour spot for Southern comfort food, as Georgia-based diner chain Huddle House considers two new franchise locations in the city.

Pearland's economic climate is perfect for the brand, said Christina Chambers, vice president of franchise development for Huddle House.

Chambers said Pearland residents match the company's regular customer base. And, Pearland's average food sales per household is among the highest in the State of Texas.

When breaking into the Houston area, Huddle House first looked to cities on the outskirts like Huffman and Willis before considering suburban locations. "We've historically been more of a rural brand," Chambers said.

The company is considering two potential locations on the west side of Pearland, one of which is a former restaurant building and another property where a new restaurant would be built from scratch.

Huddle House is also meeting with potential franchise partners in the area, Chambers said. Specific locations and opening dates would be announced after properties are purchased and franchisees have signed on.

Huddle House serves traditional breakfasts such as omelettes, waffles and pancakes, plus Southern favorites like smothered biscuits and grits.

Lunch and dinner options include salads, burgers, sandwiches, chicken fried steak and fried shrimp.

Kids eat free on Monday and Tuesday, and everyone who spends $6 gets a free waffle on Waffle Wednesday.

Chambers said a new location is also being planned in Spring.
