Grand Reopening of World Famous Restaurant
Feb 27, 2009 - CRA, Mayor's Office
WHEN: TONIGHT!!! 6:00 PM RIBBON CUTTING
WHERE: 415 NORTHWOOD ROAD, NORTHWOOD VILLAGE, WEST PALM BEACH
Join us tonight for the Grand Reopening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for World Famous Restaurant located in the heart of Northwood Village.
Yvonne Peterman began her restaurant business in 1993 and moved to Northwood Village to open World Famous Restaurant in 1996.
Ms. Peterman said, “We’ve seen this neighborhood through the worst and the best of times and we are proud to continue to be a growing part
of this community that is defined by its home-town feel.” Ms. Peterman was joined by new partners this year which led to an approximate $300,000
interior and exterior renovation and business upgrade. The West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency is leveraging this investment
with a grant to the business of approximately 25% of the renovation cost.
World Famous Restaurant will serve its famous fine southern cuisine and will feature:
Every Thursday, Old School Night with the Derek Mack Band
Every Friday and Saturday, DJ Nights
Every Sunday, Live Jazz with the Memory Lane Band
For more information, contact World Famous Restaurant at 561-833-3377 or Sharon McCormick-Keiley at 561-822-1551.
