One of the Twin Cities' best breakfast burritos now has a permanent address.

State of play: Scramblin' Egg, the former food truck that won Bloomington's "Shark Tank"-style startup competition last year, moved into its new brick-and-mortar home at 7828 Portland Ave. South in late June.

What they're saying: Founders Nick Peterson and Grant Veitenheimer told Axios their airport-adjacent location has netted them lots of MSP-bound customers, just as they hoped.

Once road construction end on Portland Avenue, they're excited to have a direct link over I-494 to Richfield.

Kyle's thought bubble: While Scramblin' Egg's burritos are fully customizable, they generally excel because they overload on eggs, not filler ingredients like rice.

Another place that gets this: Lito's in Richfield.

What we're watching: The startup competition — Hatch Bloomington, now in its second year — is now holding public voting on a new round of semifinalists.
