News on Collegedale Jack’s, Chick-fil-A test, O’Charley’s & Duck Donuts
Would you try Chick-fil-A's new Chorizo Cheddar Egg Bites
COLLEGEDALE, Tennessee (WDEF) – After inspecting construction progress today, Jack’s Family Restaurants have delayed their Collegedale opening by a week.
The new location on Apison Pike Road will now officially open on September 6th.
This will be the Birmingham chain’s 19th restaurant in Tennessee.
“All of us at Jack’s are very excited to bring another location to Tennessee, and we look forward to serving customers with quality Southern food and community support for years to come,” said Jack’s Family Restaurants CEO Todd Bartmess.
On Opening Day, the first 50 customers will get a free jack’s breakfast for a month.
9/1/2022 – Story was updated to reflect new opening date.
Speaking of breakfast, Chick-fil-A is about to test out a new morning item.
Their Chorizo Cheddar Egg Bites will hit test markets in late August.
The muffin-size bites will combine egg, chorizo and cheese.
You’ll get four “egg bites” per order.
But you’ll only find them now at test locations in Augusta, Georgia.. Aiken, South Carolina and New Orleans, among others.
Chick-fil-A will see how they go over there before making a decision for the rest of us.
O’Charley’s has had a unique tie-in to the inflation rate.
They have tied an online discount to the current Consumer Price Index.
So whatever the current Index rate was, you would get that percentage off your order.
But now the CPI is actually going down.
So the restaurant chain has decided to to double last month’s number (8.5%) for a 17% discount on online orders through August 21.
