A popular chophouse in downtown Greenville will be closed for renovations for three weeks.

Hall Management Group, the South Carolina-based owner of the Halls Chophouse restaurants in South Carolina and Tennessee, will temporarily close the company’s Greenville location beginning July 3 for the extensive $2.2 million renovation project, according to the news release.

Ten percent of the renovation costs will go toward compensating the roughly 170 employees during the temporary closure, the release said. The restaurant will reopen at 3 p.m. on July 26, with dinner beginning at 5 p.m.

Halls Chophouse Greenville general manager Justin Edgar said the project has been in the works for about a year.

“Greenville has been a wonderful home for our Halls Chophouse brand, and we are excited to reinvest in our guests and city with this major renovation project,” said Tommy Hall, proprietor of Hall Management Group. “This decision to fully pay our 170 colleagues while we are temporarily closed was easy to make. It’s our dedicated team members who make our dining experiences so memorable. We look forward to welcoming our guests back to a beautiful new space with the same outstanding food and quality service.”

Several areas of the restaurant will undergo renovations by Garvin Design Group. The kitchen will be completely replaced and updated with the latest, state-of-the-art appliances and equipment. The dining rooms will receive new carpet, lighting fixtures and booths that reflect the Halls Chophouse signature look and color scheme, the release said.

“Halls is always reinvesting into projects throughout the company all year,” said Edgar.

Halls will donate a portion of the food on-hand at the restaurant to Harvest Hope Food Bank, South Carolina’s largest food bank, the release said.

“Harvest Hope provides over 20 million meals on average to neighbors in need across 20 counties in the Upstate, Midlands and Pee Dee,” said Erinn Rowe, Harvest Hope CEO. “With 1-in-10 people facing hunger in our state, and an 8.1% food insecurity rate in Greenville County alone, the donation made by the Hall’s team will be making an incredible difference for our community by providing nutritious, quality food to those who need it most.”

Halls Chophouse Greenville opened in January 2016. With more than 1,000 employees companywide, Hall Management Group operates nine restaurant venues in two states.

“With a fresh, new look, I think the project will provide even more efficiency and create an even more seamless guest experience than already is in place,” said Edgar.
