Newk’s Eatery Debuts First-Ever Drive-Thru Prototype in Fort Smith

“We’re excited to expand our brand across the great state of Arkansas and introduce our first drive-thru prototype in Fort Smith,” said Newk’s President Mike Clock. “We look forward to sharing our delicious family classics and genuine hospitality in a new, convenient ordering channel with guests.”

Newk’s will officially open its doors to the Fort Smith community on Monday, Feb. 21 at 4801 Phoenix Ave., and celebrate by giving the first 50 dine-in guests on opening day a FREE slice of cake! Then, the new 3,300-square-foot restaurant will hold an official ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Fort Smith Chamber of Commerce at 10 a.m. on Monday, Feb 28.

“There’s nothing like Newk’s high-quality, comfort food in the area, so we’re confident it will quickly become a huge hit,” said Franchisee Todd White. “We’re honored to have the opportunity to introduce Newk’s to the Fort Smith community and can’t wait to debut the brand’s first-ever drive-thru model. We look forward to meeting many new and existing Newk’s fans.”

Newk’s first Fort Smith restaurant will be open every day from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. This opening marks the ninth Newk’s in Arkansas and 108th systemwide.
