Cook Out has continued it’s expansion with the opening of a new Raeford restaurant in North Carolina on December 20.
The popular fast-food chain officially opened its newest location in Raeford, North Carolina shortly before Christmas as the growth of the brand continued. The new Creedmoor restaurant was launched days later.
The opening of the Raeford restaurants marks another step in the chain’s expansion across the southeastern United States.
The opening of the Raeford location is expected to create numerous jobs for local residents and enhance dining options in the area.
Cook Out Raeford Location & Information
Situated at 114 Fayetteville Rd, the Raeford location replaces a long-standing KFC outlet, which has been a fixture in the community since 1968.
Cook Out-Fayetteville, Inc., a subsidiary of the chain based in Thomasville, NC, acquired the property for $750,000 earlier in 2024.
The site includes a 4,000 square foot building on a half-acre lot near Tallywood Shopping Center, providing ample space for Cook Out’s signature drive-thru and walk-up service model.
