Opening a Restaurant and Music Venue in the State College Area
Manage episode 374383008 series 3502367
Liz Grove's cool job in State College: owning and running Pine Grove Hall, an upscale restaurant, bar, and music venue.
Liz Grove grew up in State College, went to Penn State, then moved to New York City for 20 years. She came back to the area to help her dad with his business. The decision came once again as to whether she should move to a big city or stay in State College. The lack of music venues in the area is both what made her almost leave, and ultimately drove her to stay and start her own.
In this episode, Liz talks about how she came upon the opportunity to purchase and open what is now Pine Grove Hall. She also talks about how she got connected to Pine Grove Hall's chef, how they persevered through the pandemic, and the growing music and restaurant scene in the State College area.
Make sure you stick around through the end of the episode - we'll enter our segment called "How to Do the Thing," where Liz will give you three actionable steps you can take towards opening a restaurant and music venue in the State College area.
