Nashville, TN  (RestaurantNews.com)  Forget the blues on July 4^th and through the entire holiday weekend because Shoney’s has it covered with its lauded quintessential holiday dessert – Whole Strawberry Pies To-Go — which happens to be red and white, topped with an American flag. The iconic brand, an American treasure for 77 years, is raising the bar on deliciousness for the special day, giving to-go guests the opportunity to be the hit of any celebration. Price and participation vary. While available all summer, the pies are especially popular during the season’s primary holidays, most especially Independence Day celebrations. Shoney’s Whole Strawberry Pies To-Go are made in house from scratch with delicious, fresh strawberries in a flaky crust mixed with Shoney’s special glaze and a white whipped topping, finished of course with a miniature version of Old Glory dead center. Shoney’s Strawberry Pies have been a brand staple since day one when it first opened its doors in 1947. Shoney’s has served more than one million slices in its restaurants per year during its coveted history. It has inarguably played a key role in the brand’s history.

“Let freedom ring! The sweet land of liberty just got sweeter and we invite you to celebrate Independence Day with America’s favorite dessert,” emphatically and enthusiastically stated Shoney’s Chairman and CEO Mr. David Davoudpour. “We need get-togethers and community more than ever and you now have the dessert box checked. This secret recipe for our Strawberry Pies has had several generations winning over parties and picnics with its taste and impeccable presentation.” For 77 years, Shoney’s has collected industry accolades, beginning from day one. Shoney’s is consistently recognized as a premiere family dining restaurant, praised for having the best rating for value among all family dining chains while also being hailed for its service, menu variety and diners’ recommendations. Heading into the holiday and weekend, perhaps a guest at Shoney’s Summersville, WV restaurant, as relayed by valued franchisee Rory Smith, recently put it best: “While we were at your Summersville Shoney’s recently, team members were hanging a framed crocheted American Flag; one even Besty Ross would be proud of. I learned that there were only seven in existence, all handmade by the owner’s wife (Debbie Smith). This was an opportunity to teach my grandchildren about the holiday recognized every Flag Day (June 14^th) and the 4^th of July. Thank you for taking the time completing this labor of love to share with every customer who walks into Shoney’s and admire and share their experience looking at it.” Since acquiring the great American eatery in 2006, Mr. Davoudpour, who proudly displays American flags in all of his company-owned stores, has been on a driven and spirited mission to reinvigorate and revitalize Shoney’s, a family-friendly, southern-style restaurant brand. Shoney’s is one of the first, and has always been one of the most popular, family casual dining concepts in the United States. In order to get back to what Mr. Davoudpour confidently calls Shoney’s “Glory Days,” the brand is now growing through franchising, following an extensive revitalization effort.
