D'Lites of America was an American fast food chain based in Norcross, Georgia. It was known for serving fast food with a higher emphasis on nutrition. It featured reduced-calorie dishes, including hamburgers made with lean beef, high-fiber buns, and low-calorie cheese.[1]
Founders Doug Sheley and Jeffrey Miller opened the first D'Lites of America location in Atlanta, Georgia in December 1981,[2] with the chain's first franchises opening in 1983. By 1985, more than 100 stores were in operation.[3]
The chain stopped franchising in 1986 and closed several stores.[3] By year's end, it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[2][4]
