First District Taco added a brick-and-mortar location on Lee Highway to supplement its popular food cart. Now Sauca is opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant on Columbia Pike to supplement its four food trucks.
The restaurant will be located at 4707 Columbia Pike, formerly the home of Bob & Edith’s Diner II and a Roy Rogers. Workers are busy prepping the building for a possible late May/early summer opening.
Yesterday we reported that two of Sauca’s District-based food trucks were for sale in the building’s parking lot. Last night, owner Farhad Assari confirmed that the trucks were being sold so he could focus on the new restaurant.
I am opening a SAUCA restaurant at 4707 Columbia Pike. It will be opened by the end of May. The Meathead and LGM trucks, while wonderful, were taking my eye off the SAUCA ball, so I decided to sell the trucks and focus on SAUCA.
Today he added a few more details on Facebook.
The location… will service our SAUCAMOBILES as well as offer a quick serve dining space and patio for you to enjoy SAUCA’s global [fare]… We are very excited about this new journey and thank you for taking the ride with us.
