The store, on East Harry Street, Wichita, features the brand's most updated design, color palettes and seating options.

"I am honored to be a part of the Church's team and to bring the Texas-inspired flavors to my hometown in Wichita," Franchisee Mike Jizzini said in the release. "Church's continues to thrive and positively impact many communities and beyond. As our portfolio expands, we are eager to bring the Southern hospitality to our area."

The 2,250-square-foot stores includes a drive-thru and will offer delivery, to-go, and limited dine-in options (per current COVID-19 restrictions).

The company is based in Atlanta.
