New Firehouse Subs to open

Another restaurant is opening on Union Avenue in Midtown Memphis. Firehouse Subs will be the latest restaurant to call Midtown home. 

Firehouse Subs is planning to be open by mid-July in the same shopping center as FedEx Office and Verizon Wireless. The space is currently being leased by FedEx Office and will undergo renovations to split the current FedEx Office store into two spaces.

Firehouse Subs has a fast casual restaurant concept.  This will be the sixth Firehouse Subs to open in the Memphis area.  The Union Avenue location will join locations in East Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, on Stage Road in Memphis, and Southaven, Mississippi.

The Trophy Room will bring, events, sports, variety to Collierville

 

(WMC-TV) - A new restaurant going up in Collierville will have more TVs and events for its patrons than any other establishment in the area.  

Former alderman Tony Sarwar is the man behind The Trophy Room.  His sports bar will host a variety of events and cater to sports fans, families, and women.

"If you ask anyone in Collierville, it's a stigma.  Everyone says, 'There is nothing to do in Collierville,'" said Sarwar.  "We do have really nice restaurants, shopping, we have a lot of festivals, a lot going on.  But the image is that there is nothing going on in Collierville."

Sarwar is looking to change that.

"We want to have an event every night," he explained.  "Bingo, karaoke, trivia, bands."

The mastermind behind The Trophy Room is also planning to host ladies' nights, poker nights, and even set up a Wii to give visitors a unique option when it comes to entertainment.

Tennessee senator pushes for beer tax reform

Tennessee senator pushes for beer tax reform

Senator Brian Kelsey (R-Germantown) and Rep. Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) are proposing to modernize Tennessee's beer tax law, and they seem to have a lot of supporters.

The statewide Fix The Beer Tax campaign began last week in Nashville with a gathering of more than 400 people and resulted in large social media support for the campaign.

Tennessee beer tax in 2008 caught and surpassed Alaska as the top state taxer of beer.

"The current tax policy allows the tax rate to rise unchecked at such dramatic rise that it is now impacting competiveness, economic opportunity, and costs and choice for consumers," said Tennessee Malt Beverage Association president Rich Foge.

There will be a Beer Tax Reform Rally held Friday at the Young Avenue Deli from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The restaurant is also adding more storage space to allow the catering business to grow.
