You can honestly never have too many waffle options.
Waffle House representatives confirmed a second location in Starkville will open by March 2025. The new location will be at 975 Hwy. 12 E., in front of the Hilton Garden Inn. Njeri Boss, vice president of food safety and public relations, confirmed the new location.
To be honest, I’m very excited about the new Waffle House location. I’ll be a leisurely walk away from getting waffles at all hours. As we get closer to 2025, we may get more information, so be on the lookout.
“The restaurant will be in our typical shoebox design with our familiar interior,” Boss said.
The 24/7 diner first opened in Georgia in 1955 and now boasts more than 1,900 locations in 25 states.
2025 can’t get here soon enough.
Also in Starkville, we have a new venue opening.
Blueberry Peace Farm of Starkville, 10580 US 82, will host its first wedding next month. Owner Benita Brown opened her first venue in Magee more than five years ago.
“It’s the first venue that we opened up and that stemmed from already being in the wedding industry, planning, decorating and coordinating events,” she said. “We wanted to do something different to expand our services, so we decided to build a venue in our hometown.”
Although primarily a wedding venue, Brown said the venue is perfect for corporate events, proms, parties and more.
Blueberry Peace Farm of Starkville has an 8,500 square foot barn, bridal and groom cottages, ceremony lawn, back porch, prep kitchen and more. If you’re interested in checking out the new venue, you can check out Blueberry Peace Farm on their website or social media.
“We are thrilled to be able to provide a service and experience in our college town,” Brown said. “Hosting families on such special occasions is something that we take great pride in.”
This week’s column is heavy in Starkville. You may see some drainage work, renovations and upgrades coming to Walmart, 1010 Hwy. 12. City Planner Daniel Havelin confirmed the Supercenter will undergo a major remodel of the store, as well as parking lot improvements.
“The parking lot and stormwater detention will be brought up to current standards which includes a significant amount of landscaping,” he said. “It will be similar to the Walmart Market in design.”
Havelin said he expects construction to start in the late spring or early summer. The Dispatch did not hear back from Walmart by press time today.
See y’all next week!
