In October 2025, the breakfast, brunch, and lunch chain First Watch announced plans to open a new location in Deptford, New Jersey next year. The 3,800-square-foot restaurant will be situated at 1755 Deptford Center Road and feature a covered patio with over 150 total seats.
The Deptford location will also include a locally inspired mural, adding a unique touch to the space. First Watch is known for its "No Night Shifts Ever" approach, operating on a single daily shift from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. to allow employees to enjoy their evenings.
The menu at the new Deptford restaurant will focus on fresh, made-to-order breakfast, brunch, and lunch offerings. Popular items include avocado toast, lemon ricotta pancakes, and the chain's signature million dollar bacon. In addition to the core menu, First Watch also introduces seasonal specials five times per year.
The new Deptford location is expected to hire approximately 30 employees, with the hiring process typically beginning about a month before the restaurant's opening. This expansion is part of First Watch's continued growth in New Jersey, with another location set to open soon in Paramus.
