Mellow Mushroom Comes to Saint Augustine

Mellow Mushroom is bringing new flavor to the oldest city this June. The restaurant first opened in 1974 by three college students that wanted to share the art of pizza with others. According to their bio on Facebook, the first store was made from an old liquor store down the street from Georgia Tech. The restaurant became so popular they continued to build more throughout Atlanta to accomodate the growing amount of customers. The restaurant is now a franchise and has over 120 different locations nationwide. Their delicious menu has everything from pizzas to vegan friendly foods. This restaurant is just what Saint Augustine needs, and will appeal to everyone. There is a beer club that offers rewards and features local beers monthly, and currently on the Saint Augustine's Facebook page they are taking requests for which beers will be on the menu. They are utilizing social media to bring hype to the restaurant opening and give sneak peaks of the progress being made. If you check out their Facebook page you can view pictures of the construction and any information they may post about this special location. This restaurant will be a great addition to Saint Augustine so stay posted!
