“To have taken First Watch, which started as just one restaurant more than 30 years ago and now have developed more than 10 First Watch restaurants in our hometown – that’s really something,” said Ken Pendery. “The people here have been loyal to First Watch since we opened our first Cincinnati location in 1991. They trust us, and we really cherish the relationship we’ve built with them.”

The Florence Square restaurant features the company’s new restaurant design. The new prototype combines the high energy of city life with comfortable farm-inspired elements, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

First Watch will bring the company’s fresh approach to breakfast, brunch and lunch to Florence with healthy, flavorful favorites like cage-free eggs, house-made granola and salsa, house-roasted vegetables and 100% fresh-squeezed orange juice. The new First Watch will also serve options from its Fresh Juice Bar, including Day Glow, Kale Tonic and the new seasonal Surprise and Shine, freshly juiced in-house daily from only the finest fruits and vegetables. The restaurant will also serve its exclusive Sunrise Select Premium Blend Coffee, which is made from slow-roasted, hand-selected, high-grown coffee beans from mountains across North, Central and South America.

The new First Watch in Florence will serve its entire menu seven days a week from 7 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. The restaurant also offers customers complimentary newspapers and free Wi-Fi Internet access.
