Denny's Implements Egg Surcharge Amid Nationwide Shortage

Denny's has announced a temporary surcharge on meals that include eggs due to a significant nationwide shortage resulting from the bird flu epidemic, which has led to record-high prices. The surcharge will vary by location as individual Denny's restaurants assess their specific situations. This move aligns Denny's with other chains like Waffle House, which has also implemented an egg surcharge in response to rising costs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has reported that wholesale egg prices have surged, with some regions seeing prices exceed $8 per dozen. As grocery stores impose limits on egg purchases amid the crisis, Denny's reassures customers of its commitment to providing value despite the challenges. The situation remains fluid, with no specific locations identified for the surcharge yet.
