Mississippi-based Newk's Eatery is making its Fort Smith, Arkansas, debut next week with its first drive-thru prototype.

"We're excited to expand our brand across the great state of Arkansas and introduce our first drive-thru prototype in Fort Smith," Newk's President Mike Clock said in a company press release. "We look forward to sharing our delicious family classics and genuine hospitality in a new, convenient ordering channel with guests."

The opening marks the ninth Newk's in Arkansas and 108th systemwide.

"There's nothing like Newk's high-quality, comfort food in the area, so we're confident it will quickly become a huge hit," Franchisee Todd White said in the release. "We're honored to have the opportunity to introduce Newk's to the Fort Smith community and can't wait to debut the brand's first-ever drive-thru model. We look forward to meeting many new and existing Newk's fans."
