About My Friend’s Place

Welcome! Let us first say that those of us at My Friend’s Place are on a mission. Since our founding in 1980 we have been compelled by the concept of uniting the taste of fresh food, the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, and the familiar presence of a long-time friend. Our goal is to go beyond the standards of your average deli and provide an atmosphere and community that inspires good health and instills the ever-rewarding values of a well-rounded diet.

Franchise History

The first My Friend’s Place location was opened in Sandy Springs, Georgia in 1980 by Rosalind and David Katz. Recognizing the area’s need for a restaurant that would provide fast, healthy meals, they began with a simple menu of homemade Egg, Chicken and Tuna Salads, though the menu has evolved vastly over the years. By 1990, the concept had grown in the number of stores throughout the metro Atlanta area and based on the success of the concept and the desire to maintain a high level of service, the company turned to franchising.
