President and co-founder of Arooga’s Gary Huether Jr, Arooga’s co-founder Mike Murphy, head of Arooga’s franchise development Keith Swade and other Arooga’s team members joined Kevin Brown, chairman of the Tribal Council, as they welcomed Governor Dannell Malloy and other state and local officials to the future site of the restaurant, which will be located on the Norwich-New London Turnpike, adjacent to Mohegan Sun.
“When we started Aroogas back in 2008, we founded it on one simple principle: give customers what they want and they will be back,” said Huether Jr. “When we began franchising, we established that we would be very selective in choosing our franchise partners, since we knew they would be stewards of our brand. We couldn’t have imagined having a better partner than The Mohegan Tribe.”
The 9,000 square foot Uncasville restaurant is expected to include 100+ television screens, a collection of sports memorabilia, a three-season dining patio equipped with fire pits, and a tap room with up to 40 domestic and craft beers.
Opening is targeted for early March 2015. A/Z Corporation of Ledyard has been contracted for construction. Architects on the project are FRCH Design Worldwide of Cincinnati, Ohio.
