Trussville’s Peach Cobbler Factory is reopening under new ownership as the franchise plans four other locations in the state.

The Trussville restaurant, at 5870 Trussville Crossings Blvd., Suite 110, opened last October but closed shortly after. Hours are noon to 10 p.m.

Pepper Cox and her mother Nelva Rasalan are now reopening the restaurant, with an expanded menu and a revamped interior design.

“What we are promoting is a new experience,” Cox said.

Customers can now order pecan pies and sample 12 different varieties of cheesecake, as well as a selection of savory cobblers. The restaurant offers catering as well.

Cox said she and Rasalan sat down before reopening to look at how to improve the overall customer experience. They placed a greater emphasis on customer service and added a display case, so diners could see the selections. The repainted dining room has improved lighting and video screens.

“We were going for a fresher look,” Cox said.

Begun in 2013, the franchise has locations in Tuscaloosa, Huntsville, Daphne, Madison and Saraland.

Future Factories are planned for Birmingham, Gulf Shores, Mobile and Spanish Fort. Cox and Rasalan hope to open another in Springville in 2025.

After starting out of a Nashville city market, The Peach Cobbler Factory grew into a food truck before migrating to brick-and-mortar locations.
