Expect to see Trummer’s Coffee & Wine Bar and Uncle Julio’s Rio Grande to join the list of new businesses that have opened a location at the Promenade at Virginia Gateway in Gainesville.
More information from a Peterson Companies press release:
Peterson Companies announced today that Trummer’s Coffee & Wine Bar and Uncle Julio’s Rio Grande will open new locations at Promenade at Virginia Gateway. The two latest additions join the growing roster of upscale shopping, dining and entertainment destinations at the 300,000 square foot lifestyle center that opened in April 2014 in Gainesville, VA.
The 1,400 square foot Trummer’s Coffee & Wine Bar will feature a robust coffee menu, unique European coffee creations, house-made pastries, fresh fried Beignets, open-faced sandwiches, cheese plates, soups, salads, specialty cocktails and wine by the glass. This is the next concept from the owners of Trummer’s on Main, an award-winning restaurant in Clifton, VA, and Cupcakes Actually. The new Gainesville restaurant will be located near the Plaza, next to Francesca’s, and will open December 2014.
“Trummer’s Coffee & Wine Bar will be modeled after European Coffee Houses that have been around for hundreds of years in countries such as Austria, Hungary, Italy and France. By day it will be a fabulous spot to plug in your laptop and sip coffee with European pastries. By night, stop in for a light dinner and fabulous wines” says Victoria Trummer, co-owner of Trummer’s Coffee & Wine Bar and Trummer’s on Main. Adding, “Promenade at Virginia Gateway is the perfect location for our second restaurant, and we look forward to joining the Gainesville community.”
The 8,100 square foot Uncle Julio’s Rio Grande will be its fifth location in the state. The popular Mexican restaurant serves authentic, house-made Mexican dishes with the freshest ingredients. Uncle Julio’s at Promenade will offer its traditional tacos, enchiladas and tamales, along with specialties like marinated and mesquite grilled beef and chicken fajitas, ribs and jumbo shrimp. The new Mexican restaurant will be located adjacent to BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse and will feature a full bar serving signature drinks like The Swirl, Julio’s Skinny Guavarita, Passion Fruit Margarita and more. Uncle Julio’s Rio Grande at Promenade will offer outdoor dining and plans to open in summer 2015.
“These new restaurants will nicely round out our current mix of offerings at Promenade, further solidifying it as the premier shopping and dining destination in Gainesville,” stated Taylor O. Chess, President of Retail for Peterson Companies. Adding, “We’re thrilled to bring these two popular, local and award-winning restaurants directly to the Gainesville community.”
