Boaz will welcome a new retro mid-century style all-American restaurant in late 2022.
Hwy 55 Burgers, Shakes & Fries will open a new location at 1117 U.S. 431 across from Chevrolet of Boaz and is expected to employ about 70 workers by year’s end.
“The City of Boaz welcomes Highway 55 Burgers and Fries,” said Boaz Mayor David Dyar. “We are excited about being home to their next location. Highway 55 will be a great addition to the community, and we look forward to a successful partnership for years to come.”
“Highway 55 is a great restaurant concept that has been looking to expand in North Alabama,” said Jeff Sommer, portfolio director – retail strategies. “Boaz is a growing market so we are confident they will do well. The city has been actively working to recruit more national brands to the area so we are glad to be a partner in that process. Great win for the City of Boaz!”
