市议会批准老字号 Gritz Cafe 进驻870万美元西区市场大厅，2027年开业
拉斯维加斯市议会10月7日批准了一份租约：深受喜爱的老字号 Gritz Cafe 将进驻耗资870万美元打造的 Good Word 市场大厅，计划2027年开出 Gritz Cafe Express。
这是市重建局与餐厅之间的协议，拿下新场馆内的2号摊位。此前市议会今年已批准另外两家商户，市场大厅的商户阵容正在成形。
对 Gritz Cafe 而言，这是18年来的首次扩张。创始人 Trina Jiles——克拉克县首位非裔女性消防员——2008年1月在 Stella Lake 街开出这家南方风味早午餐店，以奶油粗玉米粉、炸鲶鱼、鸡肉华夫饼圈粉无数。新店距老店不到2英里。
Good Word 市场大厅位于 D 街1122号（Madison 大道拐角），是历史悠久的西区（Historic Westside）首个此类聚会空间：约9000平方英尺室内、2400平方英尺夹层，设餐饮、现场娱乐区，摊位专门帮小商户"试水"，站稳脚跟后再搬进更大的店面。项目由市重建局和社区项目出资，Cherry Development 今年初动工。
City Council Approves Gritz Cafe Expansion Into $8.7M Good Word Market Hall on Historic Westside
The Las Vegas City Council on Oct. 7 approved a lease bringing longtime Historic Westside favorite Gritz Cafe into the $8.7 million Good Word Market Hall, where the restaurant plans to open Gritz Cafe Express in 2027.
The agreement between the city's redevelopment agency and the restaurant covers stall No. 2 inside the new venue, following earlier approvals this year for two other businesses.
It's the first expansion in 18 years for Gritz Cafe. Founder Trina Jiles — the first Black woman to serve as a firefighter in Clark County — opened the Southern breakfast-and-lunch spot on Stella Lake Street in January 2008, building a loyal following for creamy grits, fried catfish and chicken and waffles.
The Good Word, rising at 1122 D St., is described as the first gathering space of its kind in the Historic Westside: roughly 9,000 square feet of interior space, a 2,400-square-foot mezzanine, dining and live entertainment, with stalls designed to help small businesses get their footing. The project carries $8.7 million in funding through the city's redevelopment agency.
