The restaurant is also offering Chattanooga customers the chance to sample from its menu of salads, pizzas and toasted sandwiches during four days of previews prior to opening.
“We believe our menu and values align with the type of dining experiences the residents of Chattanooga want,” said Kaneshia Sims Hudson, marketing manager with Williams Food Group, which will manage the Chattanooga restaurant along with those in Smyrna and Kennesaw, Georgia. “Our staff is friendly, our ingredients are fresh, hand-cut daily, and our new facility is beautiful.”
She said Newk’s offers high-quality ingredients – such as sushi-grade ahi tuna, petite tenderloin steak, Atlantic salmon and all-white meat chicken breast – along with fast service and a variety of grab-and-go options.
