“We are looking forward to building a team of exceptionally friendly and talented people that will expand our Lazy Dog family,” said Chris Simms, founder and CEO of Lazy Dog Restaurants, in a press release.

The restaurant is located at 5224 Peachtree Parkway, near the new Town Center mixed-use development. The California-based restaurant chain has more than 30 locations, mostly west of the Mississippi, but is opening its first Georgia locations in Peachtree Corners this year and Dunwoody in 2020. Lazy Dog focuses on seasonal ingredients and takes inspiration from the ski resort town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Those interested in working at the Peachtree Corners location can visit Lazy Dog's jobs site or visit its local hiring center at 5210 Town Center Blvd., Suite 340 in Peachtree Corners. Interviews will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
