I sat in on a design meeting for a new restaurant in town yesterday.
Could be very nice.
Fills a perfect niche.
We shall see.
This was a meeting for interior designs, logos and signage.
Designs to attract investors.

I think we need more chains. We get enough amateurs already. However, I do not believe in Soviet-style central planning.

You guys are good.
It is just like a Soviet owned Applebees without any central planning.
Hard to fool Observers.

locally-owned is a heckuva lot better than any bland corporate chain. You want chains, go to Westlake ... I'd rather have locally-owned restaurants in the 'Wood, so that my money goes to people who have a stake in the community.
Can you hint on cuisine type?

different, very different.
I should not have posted we are very early on this. I signed a non-disclosure on everything but what I posted. You will eat there often.

You are such a tease......
Don't let the "local" ownership fool you.....Strang Corp. (very local) had the lock on Appleby's in NE Ohio! (Before that it was Red Barns...but now I'm dating myself).

Fruit pies with a preponderance of fruit instead of congealed fruit syrup.

Soup place should be open pretty soon.
Right next to the new Area Temp place right in the Middle of Mainstreet. that will give it that homey feel, long lines of people waiting for day jobs.
