Guthrie's Chicken Expands with New Woodstock Location

Guthrie's Chicken, a beloved Southern staple known for its fresh, hand-breaded chicken fingers, is excited to announce the opening of its newest location in Woodstock. The franchise is family-owned and operated by Atlanta Restaurant Group, marking their second Guthrie's establishment.

Founded in 1965 in Haleyville, Alabama, Guthrie's has been a pioneer in the chicken finger revolution for nearly 60 years. The brand's humble beginnings in a small A-frame building evolved into a nationwide phenomenon, with over 50 restaurants across seven states. Guthrie's commitment to fresh, hot, fast and delicious meals has remained unwavering throughout its growth.

The new Woodstock location will continue Guthrie's tradition of serving fresh, never frozen chicken fingers, buttery Texas toast, hand-chopped coleslaw, crispy, crinkle-cut fries and Guthrie’s signature dipping sauce. The menu is a testament to Guthrie's dedication to authenticity and providing customers with a classic, fun and satisfying dining experience, whether it’s lunch, a family dinner, post-game meal or office catered event.

Gant Sowinski, President of the Atlanta Restaurant Group, is excited to expand their small business in Woodstock and thrilled to bring Guthrie’s iconic Southern taste and hospitality to the area: “Woodstock and the Towne Lake area welcomed our neighboring McAlister’s Deli 5 years ago, and we’re thrilled to deepen our connection with this thriving and vibrant community. Our location off Eagle Drive is perfect for people to eat in or drive thru. All are welcome to stop in, say hello and discover just how delicious our golden fried chicken fingers are. And you have to try the signature sauce!”

The new Guthrie’s at Woodstock is located near the intersection of Eagle Drive and Rose Creek Drive (2004 Eagle Drive, Woodstock, GA 30189) and brings nearly 50 new jobs to the area. The Grand Opening will be Tuesday, April 30, and include a free box for the first 50 guests, a raffle for a huge gift bag and other giveaways throughout the day.
