Hattiesburg-based restaurant developer to open The Downtowner in Gulfport
SUMMARY: Restaurateur Robert St. John is transforming an iconic downtown Gulfport storefront, set to open late summer. After years of demand for his signature dining on the Gulf Coast, he is creating a community café in a 4,500 sq. ft. space formerly occupied by Triplet Day Truckstore. The new location will mimic his Hattiesburg establishment, the Midtown, but with a unique Gulf Coast twist. Plans include extra dining space for civic groups and a nostalgic diner aesthetic. St. John aims to hire about 50 new employees and will feature seafood dishes and a weekly breakfast menu, promising an exciting dining experience for locals.
Work to transform an iconic downtown storefront in Gulfport is underway and on track to open late this summer.
