New Restaurant Launches Soft Opening At The Former Munchies Lab Location in Augusta
A new family-owned business just opened in the former location of Munchies Lab. Coleman’s Lunch Box is owned by Chef Norman C. Coleman and his wife, Rhonda Coleman.
Munchies Lab was a restaurant located right outside of Downtown Augusta, that announced its closing last month. They stated via social media that the last day of operation would be September 16.
The restaurant had a soft opening this past Tuesday, October 23. The grand opening will be held next Monday, October 30. Their current hours are Monday- Saturday 10 am – 9:30 pm. The exact location of the restaurant is 1022 Walton Way Suite A.
Their menu has a variety of items, from wings to burgers to Philly cheesesteaks and more.
They also have some eye-catching items on their menu, such as the honey bun bacon cheeseburger. It’s just as it sounds – bacon, cheese, and a hamburger patty placed between a honey bun.
Munchies Lab stated that they closed because they didn’t get much foot traffic. While they have been hoping to find a new location, the concept has had trouble being welcomed around the community, which has made it a bit difficult to settle down in a new location.
Family Owned Restaurants in Augusta That Feel Like a Home Away From Home
Today, June 23, is recognized as National Family Owned and Operated Businesses Day. A day to salute family-owned and operated businesses that are surviving and thriving through this economy. In Augusta, we are fortunate enough to have tons of family-owned and operated businesses. This holiday includes all types of businesses. We are going to focus on the restaurants that are run by a family. So not just locally owned restaurants, but those where it’s family owned and family run. It’s cool to find out which places are a family-owned restaurant in Augusta.
Visiting a family-owned and operated business is always a special experience. If they only have locations in your area, you are getting a one-of-a-kind meal. And not everybody that is outside of that area can get that meal on a daily. Another reason it is a special experience is that they often strive to be customer friendly and make you feel at home.
