COMMERCE, Ga. — Fuddruckers is expanding in Georgia via a new franchise agreement with TravelCenters of America LLC (TA). On Friday, the fast-casual restaurant chain's seventh location opened within the state inside the TA located at 30732 Highway 441 South in Commerce, near the Tanger Outlet center and Atlanta Dragway.

The Fuddruckers restaurant offers table and lounge seating for 101 guests, with decor that references Fuddruckers' classic Americana origins.

"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," stated Peter Tropoli, chief operating officer of Luby's Inc., parent company of Fuddruckers. "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." 

As a post-opening feature on Feb. 15, President's Day, the restaurant will offer 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.

Luby's operates 77 Fuddruckers nationwide and serves as the franchisor for 111 Fuddruckers franchise locations across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Chile and Colombia.
