Bread Head Restaurant Group will open its fourth location in Woodland Hills this December 2026. This launch follows the success of existing sites in Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, and Westwood.
Why it matters
Founders Jordan Snyder and Alex William are scaling their business without outside equity funding or franchising to maintain direct control over quality. This approach reflects a commitment to operational independence as they grow their footprint in Los Angeles.
Bread Head Restaurant Group currently operates three sites in Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, and Westwood. The company has grown from its origins as a pop-up venture founded after the 2020 closure of Trois Mec.
The players
Jordan Snyder
He is a co-founder of the Bread Head Restaurant Group who launched the business after working at Trois Mec.
Alex William
He is a co-founder of the Bread Head Restaurant Group who manages the business alongside his partner without outside investors.
The details
The founders built the company using a delivery-first model before opening their first permanent storefront in 2024. They continue to self-fund the venture to avoid the dilution of their operational standards.
Timeline
2020: The founders started their venture following the closure of Trois Mec.
2024: The group opened its first permanent restaurant in Santa Monica.
December 2026: The Woodland Hills location is scheduled to open.
Q2 2027: A fifth location is planned for Thousand Oaks.
Culture Shift
The expansion mirrors a wider trend in the food industry where independent groups are scaling despite economic pressures. By prioritizing self-funding, these operators reject the rapid, often venture-backed scaling model seen in other sectors like the $1 billion Dave's Hot Chicken sale.
Residents in Woodland Hills will gain access to the group's menu, which originated from the founders' previous pop-up and delivery-only operations. Customers can expect the same in-house quality standards as the brand expands its physical footprint across Los Angeles.
The takeaway
Maintaining ownership and operational control allows independent groups to preserve their unique brand identity while scaling. Residents should monitor the official opening dates as the company continues its expansion throughout Southern California.
What happens next
The Bread Head Restaurant Group is scheduled to open a fifth location in Thousand Oaks during the second quarter of 2027.
