Joella’s Hot Chicken, a Louisville-based, fast-casual restaurant featuring hot chicken and made-from-scratch sides, will open its third Georgia location on Tuesday, October 29, in Woodstock at 188 Molly Lane. This is the former Pollo Tropical location. The new restaurant will feature a drive thru where guests can enjoy Joella’s Jumbo Tenders, Big Wings and fan-favorite Southern Sides including Creamy Mac & Cheese, Parm Garlic Fries, and Kale Crunch Salad on-the-go.
To kick off the excitement on opening day, Joella’s will give away nearly $50,000 in FREE chicken meals to the first 100 guests in line. A one-year supply (52 coupons) will be awarded to each of the first 100 adults, 18 years and older with valid identification, at 8 a.m. Guests are invited to form a line up to 24 hours prior to the restaurant’s opening.
Joella’s Woodstock location will offer a large indoor dining space in addition to an outdoor, covered patio. It will also feature a drive thru, providing added convenience for those on-the-go.
After successful openings in Cumberland and Kennesaw over the last few months, we can’t wait to continue our expansion into Woodstock, said Christina Happel, Regional Vice President of Operations for Joella’s Hot Chicken. We look forward to showing Woodstock what Joella’s has to offer, and hope to become a neighborhood staple within this close-knit community!
This is the 14th location to open for the popular Louisville-based fast casual dining chain, with plans to open an additional location in Newnan, Georgia this fall. Joella’s will be open Sunday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
