Burger 21 signs deal for two Atlanta locations
Tampa-based restaurant company and franchise Burger 21 agreed to a two-unit franchise deal in the Atlanta area.

Corley and Meg Steward signed an agreement to open two Burger 21 locations in the North Alpharetta and Buford/Mall of Georgia areas. This deal comes after two signed deals for a total of three franchised units in Orlando earlier this year.

Last fall, the company launched an aggressive growth strategy to bring its line of restaurants to more cities across the United States.

“We are thrilled to have signed our first franchise deal in Atlanta just in time for our brand's latest growth initiative in the region,” Mark Johnston, Burger 21 president and president of the chain's management company Front Burner Brands, says in a press release.
