Le Peep Restaurants of Indiana is a licensee of Le Peep Restaurants Inc., a national company of restaurants specializing in creative and up-scale breakfast and lunch. The Le Peep concept began in the late 1970's with one restaurant in a converted gas station in suburban Denver, Colorado. The concept was an immediate hit, known for serving unique breakfast creations with high quality, fresh ingredients. 

Our company, Le Peep Restaurants of Indiana,  was formed by Bill Eckrich in 1987 to develop and operate Le Peep restaurants in Indianapolis and throughout the state of Indiana.  We opened our first restaurant in Northeast Indianapolis (Castleton) in January 1988. In our first three months of operation, we were voted Critic's Choice Best Breakfast in the Indianapolis Monthly Magazine and we were on our way! A year and a half later, we opened our second Le Peep Restaurant in Downtown Indianapolis, at the corner of New York & Illinois Streets.  Downtown Indy was pretty sleepy back in late summer of 1989.  The third weekend we were open, the city imploded a city-block's worth of buildings in the area that would become the Circle Center Mall eight years later.  There were literally no other businesses open that early Sunday morning in September, so our restaurant filled up with people that had come downtown to witness the building implosion and our weekend business soared after that!

After waiting a couple of years to figure out how to run more than one or two restaurants, we opened our third Le Peep Restaurant, in August of 1995, on the Northwest side of Indianapolis in the North Willow Shopping Center, located at the corner of W. 86^th & Township Line Rd.  As more of a neighborhood location, our North Willow restaurant immediately became popular with the established north side clientele that lived in the many wonderful neighborhoods of Greenbrier, North Willow, Meridian Hills, Williams Creek, Arden and Meridian Kessler, as well as southern Carmel and Zionsville.

Our fourth Le Peep was opened in November of 1997, in the Fashion Mall Commons Shopping Center located in the Keystone Crossing district. With the high density of upscale shopping and commercial office space in the Keystone Crossing area, our new restaurant immediately became our second highest grossing restaurant of our growing company.  Many a business deal was closed at both our Fashion Mall Le Peep and our Downtown Le Peep, that by then had become a prime destination spot for business breakfast meetings by the movers and shaker of Indy!

In November of 1999, we ventured north of the Marion/Hamilton county line to open our fifth restaurant in the Hamilton Commons shopping center in Carmel. This location at 126^th St. and N. Meridian Streets was again an overnight success, catering to the strong business base in Carmel as well as the affluent residential base that makes Carmel Indiana a special place to do business.

Our sixth Le Peep was opened in March of 2001 at W. 71^st St. & I-465, in the Intech Commons Shopping Center.  Serving the west side of Indy, Pike Township, Zionsville and points west, our newest restaurant has joined it's five other brothers as a vibrant and successful restaurant.

It is our goal to continue to grow our company via the addition of new Le Peep Restaurants throughout greater Indianapolis and other markets in Indiana and beyond.

We have been blessed with a wonderful team of committed industry professionals that serve as Managers, Hosts, Servers, Bussers, Cooks and Dish Machine Operators.
