Rayno Seaser founded The Egg & I in 1987, as a breakfast and lunch restaurant in what is now mid-town Fort Collins. Before long, additional regional locations were added, and though a franchise was never the plan - the market demanded it. Rayno grew the enterprise to around a dozen locations before selling 90% of the franchise company, and then watched The Egg & I grow to over 100 locations before being acquired by First Watch - which was one of Rayno’s first restaurant industry contacts going back to the early 80’s!
The Egg & I story has many chapters, and in some ways started when his then-girlfriend Patty loaned him $5,000 - half the money he needed to buy into the restaurant he managed in Vail. It seems that Rayno loves everyone he meets, he’s lived a life centered in service - and I hope you enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Rayno Seaser.
