Grateful Greens Opening at 15th & O Streets!

Congratulations to Jim Larson who is opening Grateful Greens at 1451 O Street!  This locally-owned, independent restaurant will feature house designed salads or build-your-own with 4-6 types of greens and various toppings.  Soups are also included on the menu. 

Larson, who was born and raised in Lincoln, has spent time in California and other areas developing his love for cooking.  He worked for a number of years at a local organic grocerer where he made numerous contacts with local food producers in which he hopes to support in the restaurant.  Grateful Greens will be a similar concept as the popular restaurant Mad Greens in Denver, Colorado.

Grateful Greens is expected to be open in February.  This will be a nice addition to downtown eateries!  Tom Graf, NAI FMA represented Greatful Greens with their lease.
