Restaurant Press Release Example:
Beloit, WI (May 1, 2000) – Exciting things have been happening at Beloit’s Angel Museum since its opining in 1998. Now the museum’s board and staff are planning the re-opening of the museum’s dining area, The Taste of Heaven Restaurant. The restaurant will be open to the public on May 1st, 2000 and will offer an exciting new menu and atmosphere for guests.
According to the Angel Museum’s executive director, Nora Guard, the image of the restaurant will be one of elegance. “We want visitors feel as if they are in Heaven,” said Guard, “and the Taste of Heaven Restaurant will give them that feeling.” The restaurant will offer an elegant ambiance with gold flatware, white china with gold trim, cloth napkins and new elegant decorations. In addition to the new image, the restaurant will offer a new menu featuring salads, sandwiches and soups.
In coordination with the opening of the restaurant, the Angel Museum will publish a cookbook filled with recipes from Angel Museum trustees, volunteers and members. The cookbook will be sold at the museum’s gift shop and other places in Beloit. Funds raised from the cookbook will be used to offset the start up costs of the restaurant.
To run the new restaurant, the Angel Museum has hired Nancy Toubl as the restaurant manager. Toubl is a Beloiter who has owned a food service business for seven years. “Nancy is bringing a lot of energy and vision to the restaurant,” said Guard, “she will be working on implementing a menu and image for the restaurant and we are very excited to have her on our team.”
The hours for the museum will be Tuesday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
