The Granite Works building on Main Street (at Virginia) has landed a Roly Poly franchise restaurant. Truth be told, I have never heard of Roly Poly, but after looking at the corporation’s website, I was able to put a thumb on the concept. Located in close proximity to the Medical Campus, Roly Poly will be serving up fresh soups, salads and wraps, quick and healthy, with plenty of options to satisfy a wide range of tastes.
According the website, the first Roly Poly Sandwich Shop was opened in the Buckhead section of Atlanta, Georgia in 1996 by founders Linda Wolf and Julie Reid. Today there are over 125 Roly Poly Sandwich Shops throughout 24 states. From roll up sandwiches to frozen yogurt (see order menu), the restaurant touts itself as being a healthy alternative to the typical greasy fast food options.
The “original rolled sandwich” shop serves up 50 different sandwiches with optional reduced fat cheeses, dressings and spreads, specialty salads and wraps featuring ingredients like crunchy cashews, green leaf lettuce, Roma plum tomatoes, fresh sliced avocado, alfalfa sprouts, spicy Thai hot sauce, mango chutney, red pepper hummus, sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, fresh sliced avocados and fresh tortillas, and soups such as roasted garlic tomato, old fashioned chicken noodle, harvest mushroom and broccoli and cheddar.
Not only is this in close proximity to The Medical Campus, it’s also on the Metro Rail route and borders Allentown, adding to a healthy mix of options when it comes to grabbing a bite to eat in the neighborhood. The new business also adds to the vibrancy of the Granite Works building and leaves only one retail space remaining. Other retailers are Lovely Day Photo Studio, Just Vino, and Bloom Floristry.
Estimated opening July 10th.
