Newk’s Eatery’s franchisee team JMH Dining has opened a location in the Heart of Auburn shopping center with the franchisee team’s third Newk’s Eatery in East Alabama, according to a company press release.

Located adjacent to Auburn University, the unit offers indoor dining for 145 guests and patio dining for nearly 30 more in its roughly 4,200-square-foot space. The restaurant will provide job opportunities for close to 75 applicants within the area and will be open from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. Monday through Sunday.

“Newk’s vibrant mix of fresh, hand-made entrées along with its casual, community-centered dining atmosphere perfectly suits the palate and pace of a college town,” said Newk’s franchisee Matt Collins. “Offering a wide-range of gourmet-inspired salads, pizzas, sandwiches and more —  each boasting bold flavor profiles — we are big believers that good living comes in part from good eating, and we look forward to engaging the Auburn community around the table at our new location.”

The Jackson, Mississippi-based Newk’s Eatery has roughly 80 locations in 13 states and plans to expand to more than 200 units by the end of 2018.
