## Story

After spending 20 years in construction and construction sales, Greg Filgo was always interested in going into business for himself.

Three years ago, Filgo bought the Lenny's Subs location in Tupelo, Miss.

“I didn’t know anything about the restaurant business at all,” he added. “It was a chance and I took it. It’s worked out well.”

Now, Filgo is looking to add a second location, hoping to open in either West Tupelo or Crosstown. He noted that business has steadily increased at his stores since he took over.

“We’re doing some research to open a second restaurant here, and hopefully expand from there, maybe in surrounding cities,” he said.
