This fall, patrons of Chip’s Family Restaurant will be able to bring the landmark eatery known for its pancakes to their special events—while fans across the state will have greater access—thanks to the addition of the new Chip’s Pancake Truck.

 

The Chip’s Pancake Truck hit the streets on Thursday, October 8, bringing with it a menu for the most important meal of the day. The truck will primarily be used for special events, including festivals, parties and weddings, and may also make appearances at various food-truck events held across the state. 

 

According to Chip’s Family Restaurant Owner George Chatzopoulos (Georgie), the company has grown from one location to five in just over 10 years, with the truck serving as the sixth business. “The pancake truck marks another important milestone in the growth of Chip’s Family Restaurant, and we are thrilled to celebrate the occasion alongside our partners at M&T Bank that have helped make this all possible.”

 

The food truck debuted on October 8, 2015 at 8:30 a.m. at M&T Bank in Norwalk, CT with Chatzopoulos serving up items from the menu to bank employees. M&T Bank, a long-time partner of Chip’s Family Restaurant, provided the $60,000 needed to finance the truck. 

 

“We’re excited to help bring George’s vision for a pancake truck to fruition. The addition of the truck will serve as a mobile marketing platform, attracting new customers to the five permanent Chip’s Family Restaurant locations and expanding business to other corners of the state,” said M&T Bank Business Banking Relationship Manager Brian Reklaitis. 

 

M&T Bank, which operates a local commercial office at 501 Merritt 7, Norwalk, is a consumer and commercial bank, with 28 branches in nearby Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland, Westchester County, N.Y. and Fairfield County, Conn., including a regional headquarters at 120 White Plains Rd., Tarrytown, N.Y. M&T recently received regulatory approval from the Federal Reserve to complete a merger with Hudson City, which has nine branches in Fairfield County.
