In mid-February, the 30-year old Penn Station East Coast Subs announced that Atlanta was a market that it had targeted the Atlanta market for growth with plans for about 35 units over the next five years. Earlier in April, the company reported that it has signed a ten unit agreement for Northeast Atlanta with a franchisee group led by Rusty Clifton. The group will open ten restaurants over the next five years, with the first location opening this month in Suwanee, Georgia. The Alpharetta, Cumming, Roswell, Buford, Johns Creek, Norcross, Duluth and Lawrenceville markets are targeted for future locations. Known for its fresh grilled, made-to-order sub sandwiches, hand-squeezed lemonade and fresh-cut fries, the Cincinnati, Ohio-based quick casual has more than 290 locations in 15 states including Ohio, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. All but one location is franchised. The company continues to source franchise growth in various markets including Kansas City, Richmond, Virginia, Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, Tennessee and North and South Carolina, as well as a number of other existing markets. Projections call for the opening of 30 restaurants nationwide in 2015.
