 The well-known Italian restaurant Fazzolis was set to open their doors in Pikeville around June of this year. But due to the coronavirus pandemic, that grand opening has been delayed until 2021. According to co-owner Hilary Harkin, this delay is more of a blessing than a setback. Yes, so we announced in January that we were bringing Fazzolis to Pikeville, and then unfortunately everything kind of got shut down with the coronavirus. We had originally hoped to be open in June, but as you can see, things have gotten pushed back. We're hopefully going to be open in January, so we're just keeping our fingers crossed that everything keeps going smoothly. According to Harkin's, construction could begin on the restaurant's building in less than a month. It was a blessing that we didn't open in June because we would have been shut down and we wouldn't have had the inside open. We've been drive-through only and that's no way to open a restaurant for the first time. So we're just calling it a blessing, honestly, that we didn't open in June and that we're going to be opening in January. And hopefully we can get these masks off and be back to normal by then. Not only will the restaurant be a new meal option for Pikeville, but a new life chapter for the co-owners as they plan to be married in October of this year. I would just say that it's been really fun to do it with Jordan and be able to open our first restaurant together. We're getting married in October, so it's been exciting to do this and start our life together. We just have to be patient. Fizzoli's is still coming to Pikeville. We'll be open just as soon as construction's done, whether we're in masks or not, but we will be here to serve the community.
