Southern biscuit lovers will soon have another very good-if not incredibly popular-option to choose from in Savannah. Charleston-based Vicious Biscuit has announced their plans to expand to Savannah later this year. It will be their first franchise in the State of Georgia.

Georgia natives and newest franchise partners, Kelly and Tim Paslawski are looking to bring the concept to Midtown Savannah for their first location and then expand from there.

The Paslawski’s first entered the restaurant scene 10 years ago after opening Chicken Salad Chick, which they own and operate four locations in Savannah, Pooler and Statesboro, Ga. and Bluffton, SC. It was a chance meeting at the local dog park, when they were informed about a place the man visits every single day when in Boone, NC. Since they were already considering various restaurant concepts to expand their brand portfolio, they looked into the concept, called Vicious Biscuit.

“We couldn’t be happier to have Kelly and Tim Paslawski join the Vicious Biscuit family and expand into the Peach State,” said George McLaughlin, co-founder and CEO of Vicious Biscuit. “They embody Vicious Biscuit, encompassing the same values that we work hard to achieve every day. Finding the right franchise partners to bring us into Georgia makes sense, given its proximity to our existing corporate locations in South Carolina, North Carolina, and north Florida. We are looking forward to disrupting the breakfast and brunch scene in Savannah and beyond with Kelly and Tim.”

If you’ve been around here long enough, then you know we don’t typically trumpet the arrival of chain restaurants, but this one is a little bit different. Vicious Biscuit has a solid following around the South and we suspect will be a solid addition to Savannah’s ever-evolving food scene.

Location? That’s under wraps for now. We’ll keep you posted.
