Shoney's is hoping a new restaurant prototype it premiered last week in the city where the family-dining franchise got its start will mark a rebirth for the beleaguered chain.
The revamped flagship eatery in Charleston, W. Va., features a new skillet-driven menu -- "we have breakfast skillets, pot-roast skillets and an apple pie skillet for dessert," boasts ShoRest marketing director Denise Biafore -- with a new orange-and-avocado color scheme and new decorations, including live plants.
"We're taking it back to its glory days," Biafore says. "A lot of people think Shoney's is a dying chain."
