🎉 WE’RE OPENING MONDAY! 🎉
We are excited to announce that Friends in beautiful Downtown Monroe, located at 132 N. Broad Street, is officially geared up to open Monday, October 12th at 11:00 AM!
The final piece of the puzzle was our health inspection… and we got a 100! 😊 So, we’re ready to roll!
Now, we would strongly recommend that you don’t all show up Monday at exactly 11:00 AM… because, well, that could get a little interesting. 😂 But we can promise you this: our very first customer is going to get something special! It won’t be anything quite like Chick-fil-A does, so there’s no need to start camping out on Broad Street Sunday night. 😆🤪
As excited as we are, we also want to be honest with you. Opening a brand-new restaurant means there’s a pretty good chance we’ll make a few more mistakes than we normally do. Our food may take a little longer, your drinks might not arrive quite as quickly, and there may be a few moments of organized chaos. After all, it’s our first day, and everyone is new!
But here’s what we can promise: we’ll have a great attitude, we’ll work hard, and if we make a mistake, we’ll do everything we can to make it right. All we ask in return is for just a little bit of Grace and Patience as we get our feet underneath us.
We are incredibly blessed and thankful for the opportunity to be a part of Downtown Monroe, and we can’t wait to welcome you through the doors, feed you some great food, and hopefully make Friends along the way.
Thank you for believing in us, supporting us, and being patient with us as we get this new adventure started.
Cheers, y’all! 🍻🇺🇸
Friends Monroe
