Two franchise groups have announced they are bringing the fresh flavor of Newk’s Express Café to the even fresher markets of Atlanta and Athens, Ga. John’s Creek, Ga.-based GBDL Holdings, LLC and Atlanta, Ga.’s Many Glacier Holdings, LLC will be the first franchise companies to introduce the fast-casual restaurant concept to the state of Georgia. Both businesses are slated to open their first Newk’s restaurants by spring 2011.
