The former Guadalajara location on Highway 12 prepares for a new tenant. According to Starkville’s building office, a new restaurant is moving in, but details have yet to be released. No permits have been filed, but you can already see a new exterior paint job coming along. More details are on the way so keep an eye out while we await the new announcement.
Speaking of restaurants, a new spot on Main Street is open for business.
Starkville adds another restaurant and nightlife spot to its rotation. Whiskey Ranch, 110 E. Main St., is officially open for business.
