Big news, food lovers of Laurens! The city is gearing up to welcome two brand new fast food joints that are sure to tickle your taste buds: a Waffle House and a Jersey Mike’s. Mayor Nathan Senn recently confirmed this delightful addition to our community, bringing even more flavor to our beloved town.
The All-Day Breakfast Champs: Waffle House
First up, let’s talk about the beloved Waffle House, a place that many consider to be sacred for breakfast enthusiasts. This all-day diner is set to open its doors on Exchange Road, conveniently located right next to Arby’s. If you’re a fan of fluffy waffles, crispy hash browns, and eggs cooked just the way you like them, the Waffle House is where you want to be! Known for being open 24 hours a day, this spot has been a go-to for late-night cravings and early-morning feasts since it first opened in 1955. It’s comfort food central, perfect for those who can’t resist some good ol’ Southern breakfast classics!
Subs Galore: Jersey Mike’s
Next in line is Jersey Mike’s, which will be setting up shop at 900 E. Main St., Suite D. This sub shop, which made its debut in the mid-1950s, has skyrocketed in popularity over the years and now boasts over 2,800 locations across the nation. Known for their fresh ingredients and submarine sandwiches piled high with flavor, Jersey Mike’s promises to add even more variety to your lunchtime options. Imagine the enticing aroma of their hot subs wafting through Laurens – it’s enough to make any sandwich lover’s heart race!
Growing Community: Why Laurens?
While these two openings alone are exciting news, they’re part of a much bigger picture. Laurens is experiencing a surge in interest from businesses, and these new eateries are just the tip of the iceberg. This recent wave of development is a reflection of Laurens’ strategic growth plans. Since an event aimed at showcasing the city to industry leaders and potential investors was held in April 2019, the interest in our charming city has been on the rise. This event coincided with the popular downtown activity Sip n’ Stroll, which brought in crowds and attention alike.
A Bright Future Ahead
The addition of Waffle House and Jersey Mike’s symbolizes a new chapter for Laurens, signaling that good things are on the horizon. As Mayor Senn pointed out, this uptick in new businesses isn’t just a win for newcomers but also a compliment to the residents who already call Laurens home. It really speaks to our reputation as an up-and-coming area ready to embrace the future.
While neither restaurant has announced a specific opening date just yet, anticipation is already building among locals.
