FLORENCE – The Chamber of Commerce welcomed it’s newest member Tuesday, Longhorn Steakhouse. They have a saying, “Passion For Grilling”.
Chamber Ambassadors were there to hold the traditional Ribbon Cutting. Sarah Galen, Managing Partner, was given the traditional booklet of Ambassador business cards and the Membership Certificate. Being a member of the Shoals Chamber of Commerce has lots of benefits, particularly in the area of having knowledgeable business people who are only a phone call away. New businesses, particularly those operated by folks who are new to our area, are given a head start in building productive business relationships.
Here is what Longhorn Steakhouse has to say about itself:
“Born of fire, tested by ice, confirmed by legions of loyal guests each day, LongHorn Steakhouse® has grown to become the undisputed home for great steak done right.
Founded in 1981 in Atlanta, Georgia by George McKerrow, Jr., the restaurant began with one man’s passion for perfect steak but very few guests to convince. Then a freak snowstorm hit Atlanta in 1982, stranding motorists and drawing them to one of the only hospitable places available – a restaurant then called LongHorn Steaks Restaurant & Saloon. Tales of expertly grilled steaks soon spread like wildfire, and the legend of LongHorn was born.
By 1990, the restaurant had spread throughout the East, Midwest and Southwest United States and Puerto Rico. In 2007, the restaurant, now called LongHorn Steakhouse, was purchased by Darden Restaurants, Inc. Today, LongHorn welcomes diners to a modern, relaxing dining experience, with knowledgeable servers offering the finest fresh, never frozen steaks, chicken and seafood expertly prepared as only LongHorn can.”
Longhorn Steakhouse is located at 102 Cox Creek Parkway and Florence Boulevard.
