“We’re very excited about our new venture because we think it will help attract more visitors to our historic town, along with giving us a showplace for our products,” said C. Larry Pope, Smithfield’s president and CEO. Smithfield’s brands include Smithfield, Armour and Farmland.
The restaurant shares a new two-story, 800 m2 (8,700 square ft) building with Smithfield’s retail store, the Genuine Smithfield Ham Shoppe.
