I had a conversation with Tim Burke last week about scheduling a "grand opening" celebration with music and entertainment when he is ready to open.. He is a very smart young man and informed me that he wanted to get all his ducks in a row with a "soft opening" before he had any kind of grand opening celebration. I offered him the opportunity of suggesting an entertainer for his opening and also that I would post information on facebook and TOTV to add to his publicity plans. He was very interested but really wanted to make sure his staff and menu was ready before he did this. I was quite impressed with his business savy and he suggested that he would get back to me when he is ready. I think he really will. I'm looking forward to this restaurant opening and think it could add a lot of opportunity to our southern resident of the villages. We definitely need a new restaurant on 466A.
