Keke's Breakfast Cafe Reopens in Plano Under New Owners

Keke's Breakfast Cafe held the grand reopening of its Plano, Texas, restaurant on Saturday, November 14, 2026, beginning at 8 a.m. The cafe sits at 9613 Coit Road, Suite 101, and it's reopening under new ownership. The first 200 guests received a custom Keke's coffee mug with a special coffee card good for one free coffee per day through the end of 2026.

The weekend offer is broader than the mug. Dine-in guests get a free small stack of pancakes on November 14 and 15, with no purchase necessary and while supplies last. The fine print is plain: one free small stack per guest per day, dine-in only, and the offer can't be combined with other discounts or used on takeout, delivery or online orders.

The Plano cafe is owned and operated by Murugan Ganesh “Gani” Perialwar and Kamalakannan “Kamal” Perialwar, who bring extensive hospitality and restaurant experience to a growing Keke's portfolio. The pair's pitch for the reopened room is fresh, made-to-order food, attentive service and a place built for the community to gather.

The menu stays in the chain's lane: pancakes, waffles, omelets and other breakfast and lunch staples, served in a bright dining room. Keke's is a breakfast-and-lunch operation, not an all-day one, and the Plano hours make that clear. After the reopening, the cafe is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The coffee card is the smartest piece of the reopening. A free coffee a day through December 31 gives the first 200 guests a reason to come back roughly six more weeks, long after the pancake weekend ends. For a breakfast room that lives on regulars, that's the habit the new owners are buying, and they're buying it with coffee instead of advertising.

Keke's has been expanding across Florida and Texas with franchise openings through 2026, and Plano's reopening fits that pattern: an existing room, new operators, and a weekend built to refill the seats. The chain hasn't published reopening-weekend sales for the Plano cafe.

The chain's model explains the hours. Keke's built its name in Florida on a breakfast-and-lunch daypart, with rooms that open early, turn tables through the morning, and close in the mid-afternoon, which keeps labor on one shift and the menu on one griddle discipline. Plano's 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. day matches that model exactly, and the reopening keeps the format intact rather than stretching the room into dinner.

Keke's Breakfast Cafe in Plano is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at 9613 Coit Road. The free small stack offer ends November 15; the coffee cards run through the end of 2026.
