Marco’s Pizza is the latest business to announce it will locate in the Cherokee Crossing development in West Morristown. Knoxville businessman and Marco’s franchisee Brad Davis confirmed this morning he plans to open his eighth restaurant in Morristown, and the goal is to open for business by October. Davis says he elected to expand to Morristown for the same reasons other restaurants are making large investments here.

“There’s a lot of good economic development that will come with the new road from the interstate,” Davis said this morning. “It looked like a good place to establish our first Morristown location. We wanted to be in an area of new development and growth, and it looked like the perfect place to have both of those things.”
