Newk's is an express casual dining experience in a refreshing and stylish atmosphere. Serving fresh tossed salads, oven baked sandwiches, California style pizzas and homemade cakes from Newk's open kitchen. A selection of great wines by the glass. The Beginning of Newk's: The team behind Newk’s Franchise Company, LLC has a special talent for developing innovative restaurant concepts that not only meet consumer’s current needs, but anticipate their future needs as well. As the founders of McAlister’s Deli, Don Newcomb, Debra Bryson and Chris Newcomb pioneered the fast casual restaurant concept, defining and energizing the fastest-growing segment in the restaurant industry. After providing a solid foundation and establishing strong upward growth for McAlister’s Deli, they sold the successful chain to focus on creating the future of fast casual dining: The Newk’s Express Café concept has been developed and refined to meet the needs of consumers and franchise operators alike. For consumers, Newk’s Express Café units provide a tantalizing variety of made-to-order menu choices, available for comfortable in-café dining or for convenient pick-up. We also have an in-house catering department that specializes in sandwich platters, box lunches, bulk salads, specialty trays, and much more. From 10 people to 10,000, Newk's can cater it all!
