In the KQEN Business Spotlight:

Elmer’s Restaurant has announced it is returning to the Roseburg community in a new location and will be known as Elmer’s Kitchen Breakfast – Brunch – Mimosas, when it opens later this year.

A company release said the new site will be at 3030 Northwest Aviation Drive and was formerly home to Shari’s Café and Pies. The 4,950 square foot restaurant will be open for breakfast and lunch daily from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Elmer’s previously operated in Roseburg for 24 years before closing due to the franchise operator’s retirement and the redevelopment of the original property. The new location will be company owned and just a short distance north of the former site.

Elmer’s Restaurants President/CEO Jerry Scott said, “We heard from so many guests who missed having Elmer’s in Roseburg, and we’re thrilled to bring it back”. Scott said, “This new location allows us to continue serving the community with the same genuine hospitality and freshly prepared entrees, now in an updated and refreshed space”.

The release said Elmer’s menu features an emphasis on fresh, quality, premium ingredients and traditional flavors. Guest favorites include the German Pancake, Looking for Sun Omelet, Bacon & Tillamook Cheddar Potato Pancakes and Classic Mimosa.

Scott said, “Everything we do at Elmer’s is done to support our three-word mission statement, “Delight Our Guests”.

Elmer’s Vice President Jill Ramos told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that the company will hire between 30 and 40 staff, with the process beginning about a month prior to the restaurant opening. This spring there will be the opportunity to apply for positions through the company’s website: www.eatatelmers.com/careers/.

Elmer’s Kitchen Breakfast – Brunch – Mimosas should begin operations late this spring or early this summer. There are now 25 Elmer’s locations throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California and Arizona.
