“The opening of this location is highly anticipated,” states Shelley “Butch” Anthony III, CEO and Founder. “We are excited to welcome our new franchisees, the Whitakers. They have a passion for the business, and the community is eagerly waiting for their store to open.” The Whitakers add, “We are very happy about the decision to become This Is It! franchisees, and we look forward to a long-lasting relationship.”

In addition to in-store dining, the state-of-the-art facility will also allow customers to enjoy the experience of southern-inspired home-cooking in the comfort of their own homes. The new location will also feature a walk-up window for customers and delivery drivers, a feature that is also available at the Riverdale, Fayetteville, Stockbridge, and Camp Creek corporate locations.

The opening of this location comes fresh on the heels of This Is It! celebrating 40 years of doing business in the metro Atlanta area. The year 2023 was filled with activities celebrating “40 Years of Faith, Family, Favor and Flavor.”
