According to a recent permit filing, Public House 255 aims to debut in Richland at 255 Williams Boulevard.
“Maigh and Will Willingham are kickstarting Public House 255, an eatery focused on Pacific Northwest food with a southern twist. They expect to open in mid-December.”
“Their menu is still evolving, but they talked about southern fares like deep fried grits and tots, in addition to pizzas, sandwiches and salads. The new restaurant will move into the building once home to Fat Olives at 255 Williams Blvd. Its last day in there was Oct. 26 after nearly 15 years.”
“While Public House 255 will offer cocktails and local beer and wine, it’s not the restaurant’s main focus. They’re aiming to capture the dinner crowd, Maigh Willingham said. The Willinghams want to focus on good service and giving back.”
“Maigh Willingham recalled the community they found among other food trucks when they ran the Non-Fiction food truck for two years. They hope to include items stocked from local businesses, like pasta from Grace Kitchen and drinks from Solar Spirits Distillery and Bombing Range Brewing Company,” an article from Tri-Cities Journal of Business states.
The former restaurant was “Fat Olives” not “Black Olives.” Anxious to give the new place a try.
