Big Dave's Cheesesteak has been serving up some of Atlanta's best cheesesteaks for almost a decade. The company started as a small operation and snowballed into something much larger.
The new location will be the third store for Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks and is located in Forest Park Mall. It will also be the first time for Big Dave’s to have a physical storefront. The other two locations are in Acworth and downtown Atlanta, according to owner David Hayes, who purchased the original location back in 2013.
Hayes is looking forward to opening this third store because he believes it will help with brand awareness as well as increase foot traffic at Forest Park Mall during off-peak times and weekends. “A lot of people don't know what we're all about or where we are located," Hayes said."So this was an opportunity for us to create more awareness of our brand."
Big Dave's plans on keeping his menu accessible to all Atlantans, so you won't see any fancy burgers or extravagant pizzas on the menu. “My goal is for people to be able to go there and eat something for $10,” he said. “You can get a cheesesteak with fries and drink for $10—and I make everything from scratch, including hand-breaded chicken tenders."
