## Story

According to The Tennessean, Cross moved to the Brentwood area this summer in preparation of the fall opening. He said the Cool Springs area offered a good fit to attract clients from the suburbs.

"It (Williamson County) is such a phenomenal market," Cross said. "The Cool Springs market alone with its job growth and thriving economy, it seemed a natural fit to plant a stake in the ground.

Cross and the restaurant are planning more locations in the area. Chief Development Officer, Philip Schram said Nashville was the best spot to start in Tennessee because of the similarity to Cincinnati. Schram also said that the restaurant hopes to have between nine and 10 locations in 10 to 15 years in Nashville.
