A neighborhood croissant shop that is also the second act of the founder who scaled Chip City Cookies past 50 stores. Chip City took $17.5 million from Danny Meyer's investment fund. Somedays has no outside investor on record and is growing by selling franchises instead.

The Big Picture

Genuinely Independent

Peter Phillips owns and runs Somedays alongside the team he built it with, a different structure from Chip City Cookies, the chain he co-founded and which took $17.5 million from Danny Meyer's Enlightened Hospitality Investments. Having opened in 2024, the bakery has little public labor or environmental track record to date, and it names no ingredient suppliers beyond the La Colombe coffee it pours. Accountability sits with Phillips and the franchisees buying in, not with a fund.
