Parker’s Kitchen Expanding Into Augusta
According to a press release sent out today, Parker’s, a nationally acclaimed convenience store company and food service leader, is expanding into Augusta. Plans are in the works to open a new Parker’s Kitchen in the area in 2024. The location will be at the intersection of Windsor Spring Road and Tobacco Road. There are additional locations that will be announced in the coming months.
From Parker’s founder and CEO Greg Parker:
“We’re thrilled to join the Augusta community and to serve local customers while giving back to support local schools. As we looked for opportunities to expand, Augusta was a natural fit for us, since it’s a growing market that builds upon our existing corporate footprint. We’re excited to introduce the Parker’s brand to Augusta residents and look forward to forging new relationships and supporting the community.”
What To Expect
The location is on the site of a former Popeye’s that closed in 2007. Parker’s Kitchen will offer award-winning, Southern-style, made-from-scratch food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The store will also sell convenience items as well.
According to the press release, the store will feature Lowcountry-inspired architecture with a “hallmark glass-front façade, lime washed brick, striking bracketry, and designer lighting.”
Augusta’s Mayor, Garnett Johnson, feels the property needs to be “uplifted” and feels Parker’s Kitchen will be a great option for food and benefit the community.

Giving Back
Parker’s gives back to the communities where their stores are located. They do this through the Fueling the Community program. With this program, a donation from a portion of all gas sold on the first Wednesday of each month will go to area schools.
They also offer a Round-Up Campaign where customers can help end childhood hunger. Parker’s matches 25% of every round-up donation in Georgia and South Carolina. Donations from the Georgia stores benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of the Coastal Empire.
