The Peach Cobbler Factory has reopened its Winston-Salem location at 664 Hanes Mall Blvd. in the Pavilions shopping center under new franchisees Brian Pulliam and Eddie Riddle. The restaurant had originally opened in February 2024 and closed in spring 2026 before the remodel and reopening.
Why it matters
The reopening restores a dessert option to Winston-Salem residents after the location had closed. It also reflects the continued expansion of the chain's franchise model in the region.
The Peach Cobbler Factory has more than 120 stores, mostly in the South, and sells 10 dessert categories with 12 cobbler flavors. A cup of cobbler or banana pudding topped with ice cream costs $7.99 at the Winston-Salem location, which is open daily from noon to 10 p.m.
