Royal Farms has announced plans to open its first location in North Carolina in early 2023.
The store will be built in Grandy and additional stores in the state will follow in New Bern, Greenville, Lumberton, Kinston and Jacksonville. Royal Farms has plans to open more locations in other areas of the state to bring more convenient options to the North Carolina community.
Royal Farms is a operator of neighborhood convenience stores with more than 260 locations throughout the mid-Atlantic. Royal Farms opened its first store in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1959 under the name White Jug. The chain now has locations in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and West Virginia.
The menu will be centered around the company’s chicken, which was awarded “…best fast-food fried chicken” by Food and Wine magazine. Royal Farms will also offer a variety of side dishes such as mac and cheese and mash potatoes. Customers can enjoy brewed hot or iced coffee from Swiss-Made brewing machines that grind whole Arabica beans before brewing. They can also get f’real milkshakes made from dairy-fresh milk at the blending station.
Every location will feature surcharge-free ATMs and air pump stations, lottery and fuel. Car washes will be available at select locations.
“We are very excited to pioneer into the First Flight state and expand our offerings into the community,” said Aliyah Atayee, public relations at Royal Farms.
“Not only does Royal Farms bring value and more convenient options to neighborhoods, but we are also passionate about giving back to the areas we do business in. We look forward to getting involved in the community and seeing our first responders in uniform get free coffee whenever they stop in. We thank North Carolina for welcoming Royal Farms into this beautiful state.”
