Concept Positioning |
Green Mill Restaurant & Bar is a full-service, casual-dining varied menu chain. Green Mill serves up appetizers, pizza,
sandwiches, burgers, salads and steaks to a broad demographic drawn to the concept for its generous portions, menu and
friendly neighborhood pub atmosphere. Its restaurants offer dine-in, takeout, curbside to-go and catering. A privately held
company, Green Mill Restaurant & Bar operates units in the Midwest—primarily in Minnesota—and is 100% franchised.
Units are large, freestanding and located near shopping areas. The décor of the dining areas are fashioned out of cherrystained
hardwood paneling that is graced with original artwork. While the main dining room features an open display kitchen, a
brewery pub theme is carried throughout each unit, with historical brewery photos on the walls. The large and inviting bar area
is situated around an authentic beer-brewing kettle. The Green Mill bar features a variety of drink specials and lively
promotions that encourage guest participation.
Green Mill Restaurant & Bar began as Green Mill Inn by Myron Roth in St. Paul, MN, in the 1930s. Purchased in 1975 by Chris
Bangs, Larry Cardoni and David Bicanich, Green Mill began to thrive as a restaurant offering Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. In
1979, the Green Mill Too was born on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis' trendy Uptown area. The Too continues to operate
and is still the company's highest volume restaurant. In 1990, Green Mill started franchising and began expanding throughout
the Midwest, namely Minnesota. The company has not disclosed any current expansion plans.
