The SCC Board is pleased and excited to announce our restaurant has been leased to Val Lowe and Katie Tillman, the former owners of Friends in downtown Anderson. The new venture will be Friends at the Cove and the official opening date will be on/about February 1, 2008. Friends operated very successfully in downtown Anderson for 15 years. Val and Katie sold the business in 2006 and placed their focus on full time off premise catering with a state of the art mobile kitchen. Katie and Val love the restaurant business. They incorporate the bounty of produce grown on their own farm into their menus. For over a year Stone Creek Cove has looked for just the right lessee for the clubhouse. The Board interviewed many potential lessees but could not find the right match. In a conversation with a friend, one of the Board Members mentioned the plight of trying to find a lessee and the friend suggested calling the former owners of Friends in downtown Anderson. When the call was made, Val answered and initially she laughed. Opening another restaurant was not on their radar. However, they agreed to look at the property. On July 23, Val and Katie came to Stone Creek Cove to preview the facility. Where many other lessees could not see the potential, Val and Katie immediately liked the structure and itÕs layout and saw the potential for what the facility could be. After many more meetings and several discussions with the Board, the lease was signed on September 27. Val and Katie will be bringing their mobile kitchen to the premises and will be doing catering as well as running the restaurant. The ballroom facility at the clubhouse provides a perfect venue for parties and events. Stone Creek Cove welcomes Val and Katie to the Stone Creek Cove family and we invite everyone to come out and pay them a visit when they open on/about February 1, 2008.
