## Story

According to The State, Famous Toastery is planning on coming to Columbia, SC in 2021. The restaurant will bring 35 new jobs to the community and prides itself on its motto “every server is your server.” The franchise is also known for offering higher end menu items without the high-end prices and serving food that is always fresh, never frozen. Robert Maynard, CEO of Famous Toastery, has been looking to open a location in the Midlands area and knows that 2021 is the year to do it.

“We’re just excited for the opportunity and excited to get into the town and start serving people,” Maynard told The State.

While Famous Toastery has had losses like most other restaurants during the coronavirus pandemic, Maynard is confident things will improve as the franchise continues to grow. There are currently five Famous Toastery locations in South Carolina with the possibility of an additional five new locations in the near future.
