Top 100: Atlanta Bread No. 75

75. Atlanta Bread

Atlanta / No. of units: 100+

Atlanta Bread proved there’s nothing stale about its concept by landing at the top of the 2010 Zagat Fast Food Survey, which included 136 national restaurant chains. Atlanta Bread received Top 5 distinctions in two key categories: Healthy Options and Facilities. That marked the second consecutive year that Atlanta Bread placed among the Top 5 chains in both categories. Jerry Couvaras, the company’s CEO and president, attributed the win to Atlanta Bread’s dedication to updating its store design and décor, and continuously expanding its menu. During the holidays, for instance, the menu included a Turkey Berry Brie Sandwich and Roasted Organic Butternut Squash.
