    Creswell Restaurant Reopening After Fire - April 21, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    CRESWELL, Ore. Word is quickly spreading around Creswell that the bar at TJs is back open after a fire shut down the business for the last four months. In just a few weeks, the restaurant will be serving its popular dishes in the newly remodeled dining room.

    From a pile of ashes to a brand new bar, thereve been a lot of changes at TJs Restaurant during the past four months. When the fire hit us it totally destroyed the entire contents. So we went all the way back to the studs an so everything you see here is brand new, said Tom Nelson, TJs Restaurant owner.

    Investigators originally estimated it would cost around $300,000 to repair the restaurant, but the smoke damaged all of the equipment so badly that everything had to be replaced. Now were in at a little over $800,000 and that will go higher probably closer to $900,000 when its all said and done, said Nelson.

    While the bar stools sat empty on this Easter Sunday, theyve been full of customers old and new during the past few days. All of our business has come back and in addition to that weve picked up some new younger clientele because the bar now is so much for older citizens, but for younger citizens in the community as well, said Nelson.

    With a new color scheme and more TVs, the changes to the bar are apparent. Theyll also be obvious once the restaurant construction is complete. We have 130 items on the menu, but we wanted to add a few dinner menu items which weve done. Were not changing the menu pricing. Were not changing the existing items, were just adding to it, said Nelson.

    But while the spot pretty much has a whole new look, the owner said people who crave a late night breakfast can still find their favorite dishes on the menu at any time of the day. So we want our community to know that were going to be right back where we were before the fire occurred, said Nelson.

    Nelson said his goal was to be up and running at the beginning of May because just under half of their business comes from people driving through the area during the summer.

    Revamped McDonalds restaurant at Clifton Moor creates 40 new jobs

    11:12am Thursday 17th April 2014 in News By Laura Knowlson, Business editor

    Forty new jobs have been created in York as fast food chain McDonalds re-opens its Clifton Moor restaurant.

    The restaurant, which has undergone a redesign, is now under the ownership of new franchisee John Atherton, alongside the Monks Cross, Blake Street, and Designer Outlet McDonalds.

    Mr Atherton and his wife Ann held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the reopening of Clifton Moor, which is one of only a handful of restaurants in the UK to feature McDonalds new wood and stone design.

    Dining tables in the restaurant now include built in Samsung tablets, while the restaurant itself includes leather Chesterfield sofas, designer lighting and free Wi-Fi.

    Mr Atherton said: As a local businessman, I understand the importance of investing in the community, so its great to be able to play a part in the re-generation of the area and bring an extra boost to the local economy.

    Its not just about providing a fresh, new environment though; I also believe in investing in my people and am delighted to be able to create around 40 new jobs as a result of the re-design.

    "With excellent training programmes and career opportunities, including the apprenticeship scheme, on offer to all of McDonalds employees, I hope the roles will appeal to a broad spectrum of people across York.

    The refurbishment has also included a new concept drive-thru aimed at giving customers a quicker and smoother experience when ordering, along with enabling them to place bespoke orders.

    Corner Bakery plans Bonneval Road caf - April 19, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Friday, April 18, 11:55 AM EDT

    By Karen Brune Mathis, Managing Editor

    Edwin Watts Holding Co. is the landlord. The 167-seat caf is at the northern end of the building.

    The first caf for the Dallas-based company is being developed at the Shoppes on Riverside in Downtowns Riverside area and is expected to open late this year.

    The city is reviewing plans for tenant improvements for Corner Bakery Caf Southpoint in more than 4,300 square feet of space, along with an outdoor patio, at the Bonneval location. The project cost is $550,000. No contractor was identified.

    Corner Bakery Caf is a fast-casual restaurant that offers made-to-order breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as catering.

    Downtown, the Corner Bakery will occupy a 4,000-square-foot building under construction at 192 Riverside Ave. in front of The Fresh Market.

    In September, the company said it plans to open as many as 10 restaurants in the area as part of a multi-unit restaurant franchise agreement with Lee Wesley Group LLC, whose manager is Arthur Lee, president and CEO of Lee, Wesley & Associates LLC, Lee Wesley Group LLC and Lee Wesley Restaurants LLC.

    Lee Wesley Group LLC also owns and operates several Panda Express, Burger King, Nathans Famous, Auntie Annes and Taco Bell restaurants.

    Corner Bakery Caf says its made-to-order menu features hot breakfast scramblers, paninis and sandwiches, homemade soups, salads, pastas and sweets.

    Construction begins on new Gringos restaurant in Spring - April 19, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Tex-Mex enthusiasts will have a new restaurant to frequent later this year as Gringos Mexican Kitchen will open its 11th Houston-area location in Spring.

    Construction recently started at 19330 Interstate 45 North near Top Golf and will be finished by September, Director of Operations Frank Martinucci said. The restaurant will employ around 140 staff members with a mix of full-time and part-time positions and will feature a patio, bar area and a playground for children in the waiting area.

    Martinucci said the company has wanted to move toward The Woodlands and take advantage of the rapid growth in the area.

    Its a great location along the highway; and when we heard Top Golf was opening, it was a good thing that really helped seal the deal, Martinucci said.

    The restaurant will be modeled after the most recent design, which was incorporated into the Gringos Mexican Kitchen in Cypress, built in 2012, Martinucci said. The restaurant offers fun colors, plenty of booth seating, artwork and other decorations. A banquet room will be available for large parties and other events.

    A daily schedule for the restaurant has not been finalized, but it probably will be similar to other Gringos locations, Martinucci said.

    Our closing times will probably vary between 9 and 10 p.m. depending on the day of the week and what the local community desires, Martinucci said.

    Council puts hold on additional projects like McDonalds on Hamilton – Thu, 17 Apr 2014 PST - April 17, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Responding to community uproar over a planned McDonalds drive-thru restaurant near Gonzaga University, the Spokane City Council this week imposed an emergency six-month moratorium on similar projects along Hamilton Street in the Loganneighborhood.

    Its a largely symbolic effort since the moratorium wont stop construction of the drive-thru at Augusta Avenue and North Hamilton Street, nor are there any other similar projects in the pre-planning stages at thispoint.

    Ditka's Restaurant opening at Arlington Trackside - April 17, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Article updated: 4/16/2014 5:29 PM

    A third Chicago area Ditka's Restaurant will open this summer at the Trackside Off-Track Betting facility on the grounds of Arlington International Racecourse. The full-service restaurant will include space for private dining and banquets, officials said.

    A third Chicago area location of Ditka's Restaurant will open in Arlington Heights this summer on the grounds of Arlington International Racecourse, officials said Wednesday.

    Ditka's, owned by and named for former Chicago Bears player and coach Mike Ditka, will open in the Arlington Trackside Off-Track Betting facility at the northwest corner of Euclid Avenue and Wilke Road by July 1, said Howard Sudberry, senior director of marketing and communications for the track.

    "I'm very happy to be involved with Arlington. They do things in a first-class manner," Ditka said in a news release. "I can't think of a better location than Trackside at Arlington. It is exciting to be opening a third Ditka's in Chicagoland."

    The opening will be kind of a homecoming for Dikta, who operated a restaurant at Trackside in the late 1980s after the fire at Arlington Park.

    The new Arlington Heights location will operate as a full restaurant in the dining room area on the first floor of the off-track betting facility. It will include space for private dining and banquet options, Sudberry said.

    Betting will not be allowed in the restaurant, but there will still be space for off-track betting in another section of the first floor and the entire second floor of the facility, officials said.

    "We are excited to able to team with Coach Ditka to bring this kind of quality restaurant to our customers and to the people of the Northwest suburbs," Arlington Racetrack General Manager Tony Petrillo said in a release. "His restaurants are known to have the same high standards as Arlington."

    Steak n Shake to open soon at Centerplace in Greeley - April 16, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Greeley will soon be home to Colorados largest piece of a popular East Coast burger franchise.

    Steak n Shake is coming to Centerplace shopping center, with construction starting next week.

    Some would call it the In and Out Burger of the East Coast.

    Its a very popular restaurant. Ive built three of them and there are lines out the door, said Brian Fine, of Fine Builders, which will build the new Greeley location, directly south of Best Buy with frontage along the U.S. 34 Bypass.

    The fast-food restaurant is part of a growing wave of development at Centerplace, which kicked into a higher gear this year with the opening of Tokyo Joes and Village Inn taking over the old TGI Fridays location, in addition to new construction of Ulta Salon and Beauty store, set to go right next door to the Steak n Shake. There are only two more lots left, both east of Ulta, that can develop the third phase, said Carlin Barkeen, a planner with the city of Greeley.

    This is in addition to the construction going on south of the main shopping center with the additions of Panera, Chick-fil-A, and the forthcoming Homewood Suites by Hilton.

    Steak n Shake, founded in 1934 in Indiana, has about 500 restaurants peppered throughout the Midwest and Eastern seaboard. It has been slow to franchise out West, with only a handful west of Kansas. It boasts several varieties of steakburgers and fries, shakes and sundaes, and breakfast items.

    Fine said at 3,750 square feet, the Greeley Steak n Shake will be the largest in Colorado (about 400 square feet larger in the kitchen area). There are already three such restaurants in the state two in Denver and one in Colorado Springs.

    Fine said the franchiser of the Greeley restaurant, which he would not name, also has been looking at locations in Loveland and Fort Collins, but the Greeley site became available first.

    They are exploring property in all of that northern Colorado area, Fine said. It was just hard to find. This was the first that came available and accessible.

    McGowan's Menu: Reedy's Family Restaurant In McBain - April 16, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    They've established a lunch and dinner menu, hoping to appeal to customers of all kinds.

    "If you're looking for seafood we have salmon, cod, we have shrimp on the menu. Crab cakes is a new special for this month. We always have the burgers and the pizza. Our ribs are fall off the bone, great tasting ribs. Basically, something for everyone," says Stephen.

    Stephen's dad, Gerald, is a veteran of more than 30 years as a construction worker and superintendent. He also ran a mail-order business, but as he prepares to retire, he's helping his son out, establishing the restaurant. And now overseeing desserts, among other things.

    He is also responsible for the restaurant's decor, including the construction of fireplaces, two fireplaces, the way he wanted them.

    Gerald says, "I demanded that they be large fireplaces. The architect that was helping us, he kept designing them down. You know, three or four times, 'oh no, you're wasting space.' And I said, no I want at least eight foot wide fireplaces. You know. It's for the look of the place. I think we really needed them. So we ended up with the right ones."

    As we said they want to appeal to a wide clientele, this is the steak quesadilla being prepared and of course Stephen already mentioned the pizza, but if you're in for dinner you might like to try one of their specialties.

    "This is one of the best cuts you can possibly buy. " Stephen is describing their ten ounce, inch or more thick pork chop. "We make our own marinade for it, soak it for a day or two. And that ensures that when we cook the chop and it's all done, that it's juicy inside. And that's very important, going out to a restaurant, and not getting' leather pork chops."

    They also feature a nice variety of salads.

    "Apple salad has chopped apples in it, coated with honey, has dried cranberries, blue cheese, walnuts, and grapes, and most people get a raspberry vinaigrette dressing with it, and I'd say that's our number one selling salad."

    Peru restaurant B-K West rebuilding after tornado - April 16, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    PERU B-K West is more than just a drive-in restaurant to its owner, J.D. Hann. Its a piece of his childhood, a historic Peru landmark, and its his baby.

    I grew up with this place, the 57-year-old Peru native said. We used to walk the tracks on Saturday and come here and drink root-beer floats back when they were a quarter. Its always been a part of me.

    Thats why it hurt so bad when a EF-1 twister tore through the eatery known for its hot dogs, hamburgers and floats back in July.

    The powerful storm turned the steel drive-in canopy into a twisted piece of rubble and smashed an employees truck into a fence.

    The building that housed the kitchen also sustained damage. Thats where the six girls working at the time hid during the tornados fury.

    The girls went into the bathroom, Hann said. They were diving for the floor. It was horrifying. But nobody got hurt, and thats the main thing.

    After the storm, clean-up workers found parts of the canopy two miles away, laying on the municipal golf course.

    The destruction was devastating to Hann, whos owned the 64-year-old restaurant for the last 12 years.

    And now that its being rebuilt, the part of Hann that was crushed when his restaurant crumbled is being restored.

    Construction on the new canopy started earlier this month, and the restaurant thats normally open from March to October should be serving up its iconic drive-in food by the end of the month, Hann said.
