Dixie Lee Chicken opens today

Fast food lovers will now be afforded the option of choosing from three new fast food franchises that open today at Lamaha and Albert streets, Georgetown. The three new franchises are owned by local businessman Alfro Alphonso and are housed on the ground floor of his 704 Food and Entertainment Bar. The franchises, all foreign, are Dixie Lee Chicken and Sea Foods (a Canadian franchise); Papa Pete’s Pizzeria (a Canadian franchise), and Miami Subs and Grill (an American franchise) have created some 90 jobs thus far.

Upon completion, the multimillion-dollar building will also house a sports bar, which is expected to be completed by year-end, as well as a nightclub and a sky lounge that are expected to be completed a few months after.

Additional jobs will be created with the opening of the sports bar, nightclub and sky lounge.

At a special sampling event for media operatives and special invitees on Wednesday, Alphonso noted that the selections available at the bottom floor are not necessarily fast food, but food with a difference – food that was never available in the city before.
