NEWLY OPEN BUSINESSES:

Greene’s Farmhouse Foods

116 W Hancock Street

Milledgeville, GA 31061

478-295-2300

At Greene's, they pride themselves on delivering quick, fresh Southern cuisine with a warm welcome. The Pendergast brothers, Frank and Doug, lead this endeavor. Frank has been instrumental in revitalizing downtown Milledgeville for over three decades, navigating its resurgence from a time when local downtowns struggled against the allure of malls. Doug brings extensive corporate restaurant experience, having served as CEO at both Krystal and Quizno's.

Having relocated several years ago to be closer to family, Doug explains, "Frank and I had envisioned a concept like Greene's for years. When the opportunity to acquire the Georgia Bob's property arose, we seized it." Their vision combines traditional Southern flavors with a modern twist, offering cafeteria-style service that caters to diverse tastes efficiently.

Greene's is a true family venture. The name "Greene" honors their mother's family lineage, and their eldest daughter contributed by designing the business logo and signage. This blend of heritage and innovation underscores Greene's commitment to delivering the best product to the community they love.
