History
Breadmen's was started by Roy Piscitello, a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill. Wanting to stay in Chapel Hill after graduation, Piscitello opened the restaurant to target the late night crowd coming from the bars. Their hours have changed since then, now open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
After Piscitello opened Breadmen's, he looked for a location to open a second restaurant with the help of his sister, Arlene. Arlene started MBA School at UNC-Chapel Hill in the fall of 1975, so his brother, Bill, moved to Chapel Hill in 1976 to help run their second restaurant, Tello's. Tello's closed more than a year later, after which the brothers focused on running Breadmen's.
In 1992, Breadmen's moved to its current location, which was previously the home of Western Sizzlin'.1
