Newly renamed "Swansboro Food & Beverage Co." to Hold Grand Opening Community Event

The Casual Coastal Restaurant and Bar to Celebrate Name and Menu Changes with Free Food for Patrons. End Quote

Jacksonville, NC (1888PressRelease) October 07, 2014 - As a youngster growing up in North Carolina, Lori Sakiewicz' family vacations on the North Carolina coast left her with so many fond memories of the area. Having the opportunity to return and open a restaurant has been a lifelong dream for the proud owner of Swansboro Food & Beverage Co., formerly known as The Swan's Burro. She opened the restaurant in June with help from her brother and sister-in-law, Tom and Tami Sakiewicz, who are part owners. The full-service restaurant and bar, located in the beautiful historic district, is announcing exciting changes including its fresh new name and logo, extended hours, menu update and a grand opening event for community members.

Slated for Saturday, Oct. 18 from 3 to 5 p.m., the event is a way for Sakiewicz and her team to thank the community and to celebrate the town's enduring distinction as one of the most scenic and charming cities in the state. The event is open to the public, offering complimentary samples from some of the restaurant's most popular menu items. Guests must RSVP as space is limited, and may reserve their spot by emailing SFBCRestaurant ( @ ) gmail dot com with the number of guests in their party dot

"My team and I have been working day and night for months to officially welcome the community," said Sakiewicz. "It will be so nice to take some time to celebrate - and I hope everyone will come out and spend this memorable afternoon with us at Swansboro Food & Beverage Co.!"

The restaurant, with its inviting view of the picturesque White Oak River, officially opened back in June. It is unveiling its new name, Swansboro Food & Beverage Co., to better represent what it offers - as guest confusion had led to some comical experiences with people thinking they were in for a burrito dinner. The new name also better highlights the planned "pantry" selection of retail food items that will be available for purchase in the restaurant in 2015. Sakiewicz had always planned to offer menu favorites like the pimento cheese, slim pickles and other homemade food items in larger, take-home portions, and will introduce these retail items next year.

To better accommodate patrons, the restaurant has also extended its hours through the afternoon from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays and on Sundays, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays (closed Mondays). The menu has also been adjusted to better suit the new hours, combining fan favorites from both lunch and dinner into a single menu - which can best be described as casual coastal cuisine with southern inspiration.

"The North Carolina coast has always held a special place in my heart, and I'm happy to be back here and doing something I love," said Sakiewicz who grew up in Raleigh and attended UNC-Chapel Hill where she earned her business degree. "I am so indebted to this community, and I'm grateful for my family who has played such a key role in helping me here - from renovations to recipes. That includes my staff too, who've even contributed their own family recipes to give our menu an expanded personal touch."

Additional upgrades are also in the works. Soon, the restaurant will offer a full bar complete with top shelf liquor and signature cocktails, in addition to its present selection of wine and beer, including its stock of popular craft brews.

Swansboro Food & Beverage Co. menu and hour changes are effective immediately. The restaurant is located at 106 Front St., and can be reached at (910) 708-1305.
