The first 10 customers will get a free tote, mug and coffee for a year. The first 25 customers will get a free tote bag. You can also get $25 off your Super Bowl order and enter to win two free biscuit-making classes (beginning in May) or five free baker’s dozens for your office.

Callie’s is the grab-and-go version of the Charleston favorite Callie’s Charleston Biscuits, founded by Carrie Morey. This will be the fourth location for the shop, which will offer serve breakfast, lunch and late-night foods such as hot biscuits, pimento cheese sandwiches and pantry items. You can also order a full lunch menu, with soups and salads.

You can also get a free biscuit on your birthday (with I.D.).

In Charlotte, you’ll be able to order a special biscuit, The Queen Bee, a sweet potato biscuit with honey and turbinado sugar, CharlotteFive previously reported.

We’re already planning our first order: bowl of grits served in a biscuit bowl, topped with some fiery pimento cheese and a fried egg.

Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit also has shops in Atlanta and Charleston. The Charlotte location will be the largest of the four, and it will feature a full coffee bar with Charleston’s King Bean Coffee with retail space for the Callie’s line of frozen biscuits, pimento cheese and more.
