I’M ‘N LOVE

Fried Egg I’m In Love is a popular Portland breakfast restaurant known for its creative fried-egg sandwiches and playful music-themed menu items. The business began as a food cart in Portland in 2012 before expanding to multiple restaurant locations throughout the city.

JHC Companies completed construction services for the restaurant location, helping deliver a vibrant dining environment that reflects the brand’s unique personality and energetic Portland culture. The project included restaurant build-out work designed to support a fast-paced breakfast and lunch service while creating a welcoming space for customers.
