LJSweets, LLC of Tennessee owners Ron and Amy Fausnaught plan to develop 10 EGGS UP GRILL locations in the Nashville area, with the fi rst two expected to open within the next year. These 10 locations will be an addition to the 150 Eggs Up Grill locations currently open and in development across the Southeast.

“Our robust growth in sales and new locations, as well as our industry recognition as a top breakfast brand, continues to attract high-quality, multi-unit candidates like the Fausnaughts to join Eggs Up Grill,” said Ricky Richardson, CEO of Eggs Up Grill. “Their operational expertise, business acumen, community commitment and alignment with our brand’s core values will serve them well as they grow Eggs Up Grill in Middle Tennessee.”

The Fausnaught family owns two Crumbl Cookies franchises in Hendersonville and Murfreesboro. Ron is also a doctor in the chiropractic sector and has owned a private practice in Bedford County for the last 22 years, while Amy previously worked in the pastry business and was a AAA travel agent for 10 years.

Another WAFFLE HOUSE is coming to Murfreesboro, this one set for New Salem Highway near Cason Lane. This makes the eighth Waffl e House in Murfreesboro.

Murfreesboro’s hometown drug store and milkshake shop REEVES-SAIN PHARMACY recently announced that it plans to celebrate its grand reopening in late January.

VETERINARY EMERGENCY GROUP will open a location at the former Buffalo Wild Wings spot on Old Fort Parkway in Murfreesboro.

Plans for the amphitheater and entertainment and dining complex on Medical Center Parkway, set to include SUNSET MUSIC COLOSSEUM on the Stones River, Boot Barn Hall and Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse and Tavern, continue to progress, after Notes Live closed on property purchased from the City of Murfreesboro on Dec. 21.

According to terms of the sale, the city received a promissory note in the amount of $3,267,000, payable in 20 equal annual installments of $163,350. The fi rst installment will be payable on the fi rst day of July immediately following the issuance of a Certifi cate of Occupancy for either Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse and Tavern or Boot Barn Hall, with successive payments due on each July 1 thereafter.

The MURFREE SPRING WETLANDS BOARDWALK, the trail system that travels above the wetlands near the Discovery Center on Broad Street, is currently closed for repairs.

In December of 2021, LEGACY SPORTS CEO Chad Miller announced plans to build a 6,000-seat arena, outdoor amphitheater, basketball courts, a gymnastics center, 57 indoor volleyball courts, an ice rink, baseball fi elds, an arcade, football fi elds and more. The proposed facility on Broad Street in Murfreesboro near I-840 would be similar to the Legacy Sports USA venue in Mesa, Arizona, which opened earlier in 2022.

However, the Arizona location has reportedly lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, is behind on bond payments and debts to contractors, and may not begin work on the planned Murfreesboro location any time soon.
