CaPITOL WAFFLE SHOP
Capital Waffle Shop isn’t just another breakfast joint—it’s a brunch spot with personality. People come here because they want fun, over-the-top waffles, a laid-back vibe, and a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Richmond has plenty of brunch options, but most are too fancy, basic, or predictable. Capital Waffle is different—it’s creative, playful, and unfiltered, just like the people who love it.
objective
Capital Waffle Shop is known for its loaded waffles, offering both sweet and savory options with fresh, unique ingredients. However, as competition in the fast-casual breakfast and brunch space grows, the brand needs to differentiate itself. Additionally, consumer preferences for Instagrammable, indulgent, and customizable food experiences present an opportunity to strengthen brand affinity.
Opportunity
Position Capital Waffle Shop as the ultimate destination for bold, over-the-top waffles that aren’t just for breakfast—while increasing brand awareness, social engagement, and in-store visits. Consumers love outrageous, stacked, and colorful food that gets shared on TikTok and Instagram.
Challenge
Balancing indulgence and freshness—while people love loaded waffles, some may hesitate due to perceived heaviness or a health-conscious mindset.

Our Insight
People don’t just eat waffles for the taste—they crave an experience that feels indulgent, fun, and worth sharing.

Our Strategy
Richmond is full of great restaurants, but no one OWNS the fun, social-media-worthy brunch experience.
Capital Waffle Shop is already one-of-a-kind—we just need to double down on what makes it special. If we make it more interactive, more creative, and more fun, it will become the #1 brunch destination in Richmond.
