The regional restaurant chain wants to open at the Oakville Triangle location in February 2025, according to Founding Farmers.
The outdoor seating will wrap around the exterior of the restaurant, along Richmond Highway (Route 1) and around the corner to Swann Avenue.
According to Founding Farmers:
Spanning about 9,200 square feet, Founding Farmers Alexandria will be open 365 days a year, with seating for approximately 245 guests, a full bar, and an inviting patio area perfect for outdoor dining experiences for our guests. As with all FRG locations, the restaurant will be built and operated sustainably. Founding Farmers Alexandria is partnering with Lumber & Light, renowned for their authentic designs in the hospitality industry, and has plans to pursue Green Restaurant Association certifications.
The ordinance allows for a “pergola, fencing, and decorative plantings” to be maintained by the business.
