Legacy Meats Purchases Historic Gray's Restaurant Building, Announces New Bridgeport Location

A new chapter is beginning at a well-known local landmark. Legacy Meats has officially announced the purchase of the former Gray’s Restaurant building in Bridgeport, with plans to open a full-service retail meat store in the coming weeks.

For nearly 80 years, Gray’s Restaurant was a community staple operated by the Gray family. Legacy Meats says it is honored to carry on the tradition of service at the site and hopes to have the same lasting impact on the community. In a statement, the company expressed its gratitude to Todd Gray, Parrott Real Estate (Parrott Marketing Group, LLC.), and their many family members and friends who helped make the purchase possible.

Over the next few weeks, Legacy Meats will begin renovations to convert the building into a retail storefront, offering a wide variety of fresh and frozen meats six days a week from a more convenient location for their customers.

“We are proud to finally announce the purchase of Gray’s Restaurant,” the company shared. “It is our hope Legacy Meats will have the same lasting impact that the Gray family has had for our community.”

A specific opening date has not yet been announced, but the company encourages the public to stay tuned and help spread the word.

The Gray family and our employees would like to thank all of the millions of customers that we have had the pleasure of serving over the past 78 years. The outpouring of kind, wonderful comments and posts over the last two weeks has been tremendous. As the old term goes "All good things must come to an end" and so goes our restaurant. The business may be gone but the memories will last for ever. Once again we would like to thank all of our customers for making our business such a success.

The End
