Sports Grill Chain to open another location in Decatur

November 8, 2023 by No Comments

Bench Warmers, a popular sports grill chain, is gearing up to launch its third outlet in Decatur, taking over the space that was once home to Taco Mac. Somewhat abruptly, Taco Mac unexpectedly shut its doors in September after a 22-year run, citing the end of its lease as the reason for closure without further details.

The news of Bench Warmers’ new location was shared via a Facebook post by their Clairmont Road branch on October 25. This marks a recent expansion policy from the eatery as it has slowly grown its venues in recent years.

Speaking over the phone, an employee from the Clairmont Road establishment, who introduced himself as Mark, mentioned that they are aiming to open the new location around the time of the Super Bowl, scheduled for February 11, 2024.

The proprietors of Bench Warmers are Jim Hancock, his spouse Janet Hancock, and Dave Murray. The establishment will offer a menu that echoes the classic sports bar cuisine, much like the offerings of the former Taco Mac. Typically, Bench Warmers is known for serving burgers, wings, nachos, sandwiches, and pizza. Away from the food, the atmosphere is casual and fun, with TVs playing sports games and memorabilia on the walls.
