Located on U.S. 72 in Athens, Sweet Peppers is part of chain of restaurants that started in Columbus, Miss., in the mid-1990s. Since then, franchises have opened in more than 15 locations around the South including Muscle Shoals, Gulf Shores and Athens. The restaurant follows the formula of other fast-casual dining establishments such as Panera Bread and Jason's Deli. You order. You get a number. You wait for a server to bring out the food."
