Mellow Mushroom comes to town. Specifically GERMANTOWN?!?

Looks like Mellow Mushroom has snuck into Memphis. I've been wanting to see one of these things in town for years but now that it's finally here I have to wonder, why in the world did you put it out in Germantown????

It seems like whenever I'm in a town with a Mushroom, it's in a college area or midtown type area. This one is way out in Germantown near Forest-Hill Irene at the old Old Navy store off Poplar. I'm sure the families will eat it up and I feel sorry for the Memphis Pizza Cafe over in Saddlecreek having to compete with this. Here is the following info about the new business straight from the Memphis Business Journal...

Mellow Mushroom, a fast casual pizza chain featuring an impressive beer selection, is sprouting up in the Memphis market, with an initial Germantown location and up to three more planned in the next five years.

Cary Fairless and Lori Fairless, operating as Jadon Enterprises LLC, signed a long-term, 5,000-square-foot lease at the Shops of Forest Hill, occupying the 17,000-square-foot former Old Navy space at 3075 Village Shops Drive
