COMMERCE, Ga., Feb. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuddruckers is
driving expansion in Georgia
through a new franchise agreement with TravelCenters of America
LLC, operator of the TA® and Petro Stopping Centers® travel center
brands. Today, the partnership unveils a new restaurant within a
bustling truck stop and convenience center at 30732 Highway 441
South in close proximity to the Tanger Outlet center and Atlanta
Dragway. The seventh Georgia
location for the Texas-based
heritage brand, the Commerce site offers both table and lounge
seating for 101 guests, plus décor that references Fuddruckers'
classic, Americana origins.
According to Peter Tropoli, Chief
Operating Officer of Luby's, Inc., "We're thrilled to announce this
partnership with a landmark company whose long and storied history
is so closely tied to road travel in America. Not only is this
location the perfect pit stop for exploring area attractions, but
it also provides weary drivers with a welcoming and comfortable
option to fuel and rest up while filling up on a delicious
meal."
Fuddruckers aims to trump Commerce area culinary candidates on
President's Day with a February 15 post-opening feature. Enjoy any
half-pound specialty burger for a Lincoln ($5) and
add on wedges or sweet potato fries for a Washington ($1)
with any beverage purchase. Taste what makes this country great
with a deal that won't bust the budget.
Since 1980, Fuddruckers has been obsessed with making the world
happier, one great hamburger at a time. Grilled-to-order burgers
feature always fresh and never frozen, 100% USDA premium-cut beef
with no fillers or additives. Delicious, sesame-topped buns are
baked from scratch on-site throughout the day to achieve the
perfect combination of crisp crust and melt-in-your-mouth
texture.
And while burgers are the signature, the engaging menu offers
variety for many tastes with an array of sandwiches, platters and
salads. No matter what they choose, customers can customize their
meal with a trip to the legendary Build Your Own produce bar, which
features fantastic fixings like sun-ripened tomatoes, lettuce,
sliced onions, dill pickles, pico de gallo and classic cheese
sauce.
