9/20/2011 : Merritt Construction Services Selected to Renovate New Restaurant Location

MERRITT CONSTRUCTION SERVICES TO RENOVATE NEW RESTAURANT LOCATION
The Corner Stable to Open Additional Location in Columbia

 

BALTIMORE, Maryland (September 20, 2011) --Merritt Construction Services, a division of Merritt Properties, has been selected to renovate the former Michael’s Pub restaurant in Columbia to make way for The Corner Stable restaurant. This will be the first additional location for the iconic and homegrown restaurant since they began their operation in 1972.

 

“The Corner Stable has been looking to expand into Howard County for the past four years. We felt that the area needed a locally owned and operated family restaurant, and our research showed that The Corner Stable format would be well received,” said Charles “Chip” Reed, owner of The Corner Stable. “The proximity of Columbia to Interstate 95 and Route 32 and 29 made it the perfect location for our initial expansion.”

 
Located in the Kings Contrivance Shopping Center in Columbia, the project includes a complete interior renovation of the 6,250-square-foot space, with all new flooring, ceilings, lighting and restrooms. The project also includes an upgraded bar and kitchen. Once completed, it will have enough indoor and outdoor seating for 180 patrons.
 
“After several meetings with Merritt Construction Services, The Corner Stable knew that they were the perfect fit,” said Reed. “Merritt was well prepared, organized, enthusiastic and, most importantly, conscious of our desire to build a beautiful restaurant while being aware of our budget and time restraints.”
 
Based in Cockeysville, The Corner Stable has won numerous awards for their ribs and crab cakes. Rave reviews from locals and travellers alike continue to pour in as the restaurant enters their 40th year of operation. The restaurant also ships their famous ribs and crab cakes nationwide.
The restaurant will hire between 85-95 employees at their new location and open its doors in the beginning of October.
