McMinnville, TN (-) Fazoli’s is getting ready to bring its delectable Italian dishes and signature hot, fresh breadsticks to McMinnville!
The iconic Italian brand will open its doors at 814 Smithville Hwy. in February 2022. The new 3,800-square-foot restaurant will be owned and operated by local Tennessee resident Bill Townsend, along with his daughter and operating partner, Tammy Townsend, who will serve as the general manager of the restaurant. When McMinnville’s first Fazoli’s opens, it will mark the brand’s first location in Warren County and 17th in Tennessee.
“We’re very excited to bring Fazoli’s to the great city of McMinnville,” Bill Townsend said. “Fazoli’s will undoubtedly be the restaurant of choice for delicious, craveable Italian flavors at a great price. We look forward to being a part of the community and making Fazoli’s fans for life!”
