A restaurant is coming back to Macon and is expected to create memories for new generations.

Maryland Fried Chicken is going in the former Krystal building at 2983 Vineville Ave., said Scott Renfroe, one of three partners who own the franchise. His brother, Jason Renfroe, and Seburn Williams also are partners.

The old Krystal’s location on Vineville Avenue in Macon is currently being renovated into a Maryland Fried Chicken restaurant. The partners hope to open three or four stores in Macon.It is expected to open by the end of the month or early June, Scott Renfroe said.

The last Maryland Fried Chicken place in Macon closed about 20 years ago, Renfroe said.

During renovation work on the building, some people have walked up asking what was moving in, he said. When he tells them, it stirs up memories.

“They say ‘Golly, I remember when I used to stay with my grandparents and we’d eat there every Sunday,’” Renfroe said. “It’s creating memories. Everybody I talk to remembers back when they used to eat there.”

The Vineville store has about 2,000 square feet of space and will seat about 45 people, he said.
