Charleys Philly Steaks has opened at Lenox Square, one of Atlanta, Georgia’s premier retail shopping establishments.

The brand’s sales have started out strong—far exceeding opening projected sales numbers. This success mirrors Charleys 2014 same-store sales numbers, and other recent openings across the United States.

“The exceptional sales show that Atlanta is embracing Charleys fresh, grilled-in-front-of-you taste,” says vice president of marketing Kris Miotke, “Our premier Cheese Steaks, Gourmet Fries, and Signature Lemonades are a perfect match to the upscale retail experience that Lenox provides. We are giving customers who crave big flavor a new bold, indulgent option.” 

The restaurant franchisor has five locations in the Atlanta-area.
