The $1 million renovation to the Essen Lane restaurant includes a new bakery area, upgraded kitchen, renovated "pub-style" bar area and an expanded dining room that can seat 220 customers. A remodeled outdoor seating area also allows patrons to savor the ambiance of New Orleans al fresco. The Baton Rouge prototype embodies all of the elements that Copeland's restaurants are known for: upscale, high-energy hospitality, chef-crafted cuisine and signature cocktails.

"My father, the late Al Copeland, Sr., opened the first Copeland's restaurant over twenty-five years ago and he would be proud to see the evolution of our brand that is on show at this Baton Rouge location," said Al Copeland, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Al Copeland Investments. "He taught me that, in addition to investing in your business, it is important to invest in the community where you do business. This new design embodies those ideals."

Copeland's restaurants adhere to the brand's core principles of scratch cooking, unique flavor profiles, variety and value. The new Copeland's of New Orleans prototype has been designed to continue the tradition of serving authentic New Orleans cuisine in a warm and welcoming environment.

"Copeland's of New Orleans is poised for growth," added Andy Gunkler, Chief Franchise Officer at Al Copeland Investments. "This prototype will serve as the design for a new generation of Copeland's of New Orleans restaurants that will continue to offer not just great food and great service, but a unique dining experience synonymous with the Copeland's brand. It's a great stepping stone as we look towards the future."

Founded on the commitment to make every dish true to the culinary traditions of New Orleans augmented by the gracious hospitality of the Copeland Family, Copeland's of New Orleans has twenty locations nationwide.
