Get ready for the flop-shot breakfast (one fried egg atop a waffle) and the bunker blast breakfast (waffle with sausage gravy). Phil Mickelson is trying to buy more than 100 Waffle House franchises in the Southeast, according to his news conference at the WCG Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio.
Wendy Lee of The Tennessean newspaper first reported Mickelson's interest in buying a Nashville-based franchisee out of bankruptcy last week: Mickelson's group, GS Acquisitions LLC, has offered $20.2 million in cash and payments over time for the 105-restaurant group that spans four states.
