A popular chain with an ardent fan-following is bringing Jonesboro diners another opportunity to indulge their cravings for Southern comfort dining, whether they hit at 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning. Waffle House is bringing its beloved cuisine and 24-hour service cycle to a third area location, reports local media outlet NEA Report.
The dining institution will be opening in the Hilltop corridor-a precise address isn’t yet available, however the restaurant will be located on East Johnson Avenue.
The social media post from Haag Brown Commercial Real Estate and Development announcing Waffle House’s new location explains that while the eatery will of course appeal to hungry night owls and anyone craving all-day breakfast, it will also fulfill a very particular local need, saying: “The site sits just east of the NEA Baptist Health System campus, and right now there are no true 24-hour dining options in the immediate area. If you’ve ever left the hospital at 10:30 PM, 2 AM, or 5 AM, as a nurse, doctor, patient family member, or visitor, you know the feeling. You’re exhausted. You need coffee. You need real food. And there’s nowhere to go. A 24-hour restaurant here isn’t just another breakfast spot. It’s a practical, needed amenity for the medical community and the families who rely on it every single day.”
An opening timeline is not presently available, however construction is well underway on Waffle House’s next Jonesboro home, with signage up and stoking the hunger of area residents.
Waffle House has been serving hungry diners since 1955. The chain has a massive fan-base, fueled by its filling Southern cuisine and its extremely accommodating schedule. Waffle House now has more than 1,900 locations spread across the United States.
