Back on September 3rd, I posted about the confirmation of Tomé in Nacogdoches moving into the old Schlotzky's location. The sign that was hung out front said that Tomé would be opening on October 1st. Well, not only has that been confirmed, but the grand opening festivities have been announced as well.

In a post on the Tomé Facebook page, the announcement was made that the grand opening of the new location at 2608 North Street would take place on October 1st through October 3rd. All three days there will be special festivities taking place to celebrate the new restaurant location.

And don't think I forgot a huge part of the celebration. Earlier I mentioned free Tomé for a year.

In addition to the grand prize, there will be other prizes handed out as well.

So, October 1st through October 3rd will be a big deal for the Tomé crew, and the fans of Tomé as well!
