A crowded stretch of Lexington’s Nicholasville Road is about to get a little busier.
That’s because a new (to Lexington, anyway) restaurant is being built in front of the Kroger grocery store just off one of the city’s busiest roads, next door to a new location for McAlister’s Deli and across the street from the popular Trader Joe’s.
Jaggers , a fast-casual restaurant created by late Texas Roadhouse founder Kent Taylor in 2014, is continuing its recent expansion push with its fourth Kentucky location. There are three locations in Louisville. The company said last year they were aiming for 15 locations. Three weeks ago they opened a location in South Korea .
According to plans filed with the city, the new, 3,188-square-foot restaurant will be at 2350 Norman Ln., near the Kroger gas station. It will be on a 1.08-acre lot at the Regency Centre shopping center, which includes IHOP, T.J. Maxx, Michaels, Kroger and more. Construction has already started.
It will have a drive-thru and an entrance off of Nicholasville Rd.
