The mixed-use project, developed by Fairway Investments, has more than 44,000 square feet of retail and 28,000 square feet of office space. Tenants include Shake Shack and Inizio Pizza.
New decor
Customers will have a view of the exhibition kitchen, wood-fired grill, and prominent brick fireplace. The restaurant will seat 136 in the dining room, and 34 on the enclosed patio.
“The vision that launched Firebirds more than 20 years ago remains the same today: offer a reliably excellent dining experience with flavorful, high-quality food and warmly professional service at a comfortable price, while putting down roots as an engaged neighbor in each community we serve,” said Firebirds CEO Steve Kislow.
Hiring bonuses
The restaurant is opening in the midst of a labor shortage. Back- and front-of-house hourly positions offer health insurance, flexible hours and a $200 hiring bonus after training completion.
The Firebirds Wood Fired Grill was opened in the year 2000 in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is inspired by the bold flavors and tradition of live fire cooking in the West. At first, it is called as “Rocky Mountain Grill” and later it changed its name as Firebirds Wood Fired Grill. This food chain has received many number of awards in both local and national levels.
