Guthrie’s sets sights on Amory

May 3, 2008 · 1 Comment

A Guthrie’s restaurant, a fast food chain specializing in chicken fingers, has announced plans to locate on Hwy. 278 East in Amory. The restaurant had been looking at a building near the Mississippian railroad tracks on the north side of Hwy. 278 for about a year now, said city planner Russell Butler. They have not gotten any building permits or privilege licenses with the city yet, however. The restaurant’s corporate Web site says they are “coming soon” to Amory and to Picayune, MS.

    I wish Amory could get a few more restaurants that have more non-fried (and lower-sodim) foods on the menu. I am aware that Daily Grind, with a diverse menu, has reopened for lunch, and The Oasis has many non-fried foods available. One day while waiting in the Wal-Mart for a shopper, I noticed that many / most of the people coming and going there were obese, so we could definitely use more healthy options when dining out in our own town.
