Atlanta Bread already is receiving positive feedback from restaurant-goers for its recent store renovations. Over 6,000 participants cast their vote in the latest Fast-Food Survey by Zagat, identifying Atlanta Bread as one of the Top Facilities among large chain restaurants.
Jerry Couvaras, Chief Executive Officer of Atlanta Bread, remarked, “The renovations were based on customers’ feedback. The survey results illustrate that we have been successful in capturing what our customers want from their neighborhood bakery café.”
One-quarter of all Atlanta Bread locations have been converted with a new décor package, including warm colors and bold fabrics along with internationally-inspired, custom artwork. Family-sized tables and plush booths span the wood floors, creating areas of privacy for guests as unique light fixtures hang overhead. The inviting atmosphere and free Wi-Fi are designed to encourage people to stay and enjoy Atlanta Bread’s continuous service. Along with the remodel, Atlanta Bread rebranded and updated its menu options with a focus on cultural fusion.
Couvaras shares that, “We want our customers to think of Atlanta Bread as their third home. We’ve provided them with all of the amenities to conduct meetings, have family gatherings, and relax at our locations. It’s even better than home though; after all, there is warm, wholesome food available all day.”
This is the second-annual Fast-Food Survey by Zagat. The results took into account 6,107 respondents’ opinions about 103 nationwide restaurant chains. There were four categories of chains based on number of units; surveyors used Zagat’s signature 30-point scale to rate each chain’s food, facilities, and service.
