ATLANTA – Restaurant franchise Schlotzsky’s has announced plans to open its first “Design 1000” restaurant in Oklahoma City.

Introduced in the final quarter of 2020 alongside the single drive-thru Design 1800, the Design 1000 features two drive-thrus, one on each side of the restaurant. The window on the driver’s side is for traditional drive-thru ordering. The drive-thru on the passenger side is exclusively for first-party and third-party delivery pickups.

Now available to existing and prospective franchisees, the prototype is a nod to the brand’s commitment to off-premises access, featuring no indoor seating and a walk-up ordering window in addition to the double drive-thru service.

“Design 1000 places an emphasis on off-premise ordering and takes these efforts up a notch,” said Shelley Harris, interim chief brand officer at Schlotzsky’s.
