New Eatery At Winthrop, Hiring Under Way

At the Winthrop Town Centre, east of Regions Bank, on a street named for the founding Winthrop family, The Egg & I is planning for a September 2013 opening, with hiring under way for cooks and kitchen support and to fill wait, host and buss positions.

That's the word from The Egg & I online, where the address for the soon-to-open breakfast and lunch eatery is noted as 11220 Sullivan Street. Winthrop's town founders are Kay Sullivan and her husband, John, who is a past president of the Greater Brandon Chamber of Commerce. Also noted online:

"There's about 500,000 square feet left [to develop] on Bloomingdale Avenue," John Sullivan said in an earlier Patch interview. "People don't realize how much is going to be there. A lot of it is going to be housing."

In comparison, the existing Winthrop Town Centre comprises about 150,000 square feet, Sullivan said. Anchored by a brick-facade Publix, the center's tenants include the Green Iguana, Acropolis Greek Taverna, Five Guys Burgers & Fries, Moe's Southwestern Grill and Cappy's Pizza restaurants. Also included in the mix are Starbucks, Winthrop Liquors, Soho Optics, Menchie's Frozen Yogurt, the Brandon Lakes Animal Hospital and the Aveda Spa & Salon.

Upcoming housing along Bloomingdale Avenue, Sullivan said, will include live-work units.
