Burlington is getting a Mellow Mushroom.
Burlington native Joey Cathey plans to open the new location at 767 Huffman Mill Road in the location of a former Rockola Cafe.
“I grew up in Burlington, my family still lives there,” says Cathey. “I’ve always said that Burlington needs something different.”
The chain of pizza restaurants is known for its colorful “bohemian-chic” atmosphere and menu of gourmet pies.
Cathey’s parents once managed concessions at Burlington’s City Park and he plans to base the restaurant’s ambiance on the the park’s well-known carousel.
Renovations are underway and the location will have a patio. An opening is expected sometime in October.
