Update On Future Of Former Chuck’s Margarita Grill Site

By Jack Kramer, Correspondent

BRANFORD, CT – The man whose job it is to find a new restaurant for the the former Chuck’s Margarita Grill site off Exit 55 said Tuesday he’s “had a few lookers but no deal yet.”

“It’s still on the market,” said Joe Granato.

Granato said he has “had lots of interest” from prospective restaurants who may want to open there.

He said he is looking to place a “well-known” name there, perhaps an “Mexican, Italian or Indian restaurant.”

The location does come with challenges, Granato said.

“It’s a large place,” he said, “and large places really aren’t in vogue right now. On the other hand it is a great location and I do expect we will be getting somebody in there relatively soon.”
