SCRAMBLE, A BREAKFAST & LUNCH JOINT

2375 E. Camelback Rd., #115, Phoenix, AZ 85016 602-954-8780 · azscramble.com Year Est: 2010 Exec Chef: Michael Williams Principal(s): Don Talbot, Clayton Moizo

Though Scramble might appear to be a national chain, it is not. Scramble is Arizona grown with Sun Devil pride. So when you dine at Scramble, you aren’t feeding some out-of-state corporate super structure, you’re helping support our local economy, local farmers and vendors, Scramble’s team and their families and the local community that Scramble gives back to.

COMPANY STRENGTHS: “Scramble is a fresh look at breakfast and it all begins with using the freshest ingredients around. How we do it is no secret, we pride ourselves on using local farmers and vendors whenever possible. From your first bite to your last, you will taste the difference farm fresh makes.” STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Faster. Fresher. Friendlier. Our staff lives by our company motto to bring Arizona the freshest meals, by a team that truly loves what they do, with a quick casual dining style. Our staff make us who we are and inspire us to be better every day we’re open.” SURPRISING FACT: “That we are not a national chain. Our modern decor, quick casual approach, food presentation and service standards typically require corporate resources. We’re constantly asked who owns Scramble, and most are surprised that we’re just a couple of Arizona guys who’ve found the right way to get things done.” last year 2
