The Challenge
Develop a unique and memorable brand for a fast-casual chicken restaurant franchise serving breakfast and lunch in the Southeast. The brand needed to reflect its Southern charm while standing out in a saturated market.
Our Approach
We leaned into Southern hospitality’s flavors and feelings, crafting a warm, rustic, and playful brand identity. From logo design and brand identity (gift cards, business cards, etc.) to wall murals, menus, website design, and social media strategy, we ensured every touchpoint was steeped in charm and authenticity. By incorporating thoughtful elements like food packaging design, photography, merchandise, and exterior & POP signage, we made Southern Roost not just a restaurant but a true community staple.
The Results
Southern Roost launched with a distinct brand that resonated with customers and made a strong impression in the fast-casual dining world. They now stand out as a fresh take on Southern comfort and are slated to open more restaurant locations in the near future.
Why it Worked
Our strategy combined rustic Southern aesthetics with modern design elements, creating a brand that felt both familiar and innovative—a winning recipe for success.
