Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir to Perform in Rainsville
Special to Southern Torch by Laura Glover Pruitt RAINSVILLE, ALA.-”Julie, we’re coming to Rainsville. I’ve already told them we’re coming. If I have to haul the sound equipment in on my back, we’re coming.” Those are

and I loved the breadsticks” stated one of new owners, Dallas Poe. “The closest Fazoli’s from here is in Chattanooga and I always made it a point to eat there.” “I thought Fort Payne could use an Italian restaurant and it would be good for the City” continued Poe. Poe plans to bring in 40 to 50 new jobs to the area with the opening of Fazoli’s. The restaurant is scheduled to be open in early April. Crews are already training to provide the best service imaginable. The restaurant will feature an eat-in dining room that will seat up to seventy-five people, and a drive-thru for those wanting to get a hot, fresh meal on the go. Poe states that if the line becomes too long at the drive-thru for the first few weeks, breadsticks will be brought to you while you wait. The restaurant will also offer catering for any size event.
