Donatos opened two restaurants today. The brand launched a store in the Charleston, South Carolina market and one in the Savannah, Georgia market, according to a press release.

In Charleston, the store is owned by local franchise partner Hobie Hondros. It's Hondros' first Donatos but the second in the area.

"We are so excited to bring Donatos pizza to the West Ashley area and introduce more of the Charleston community to the great food Donatos offers," Hondros said in the press release. "The Summerville community loves Donatos pizza, and we know the residents of West Ashley will, too."

"I'm excited to see Donatos growing again in Charleston," Kevin King, President of Donatos, said in the press release. "Hobie brings great background and experience, and I'm confident he will bring the Donatos mission to life in his store in West Ashley."

Local franchise partners Adam Kurena, Bob Fischer and Cassandra Greene will open Donatos Whitemarsh in Savannah. It's the second store for the team, with their first opening in Savannah in 2019.

"We are so excited to be able to serve more of the Savannah area with the opening of this new store," Kurena said in the press release. "The people have really embraced us and fallen in love with Donatos pizza since we first opened, and this allows us to feed even more people and in turn give back to the community in an even bigger way."

"Adam, Bob, and Cassandra have already done a great job of introducing Donatos in Savannah," King added. "It's always exciting to see growth happen, and we can't wait for more of Savannah to enjoy Donatos pizza with the opening of this new store."

Donatos operates 458 traditional and non-traditional locations in 27 states.
