Winston's Restaurant Reopens

Winston’s Restaurant re-opens

After nearly three months and an investment of more than $400,000 in front-of-the-house renovation and new design, approximately 200 faculty, staff, invited guests and dignitaries viewed the ribbon-cutting ceremony to rededicate and officially re-open for business, Sullivan University’s on-campus gourmet restaurant, “Winston’s.” Assistant Director of Metro Louisville’s Economic Development Department, John Fischer, presented a proclamation from Metro Mayor Jerry Abramson to President Glenn Sullivan heralding Winston’s Rededication Celebration. Winston’s, now entering its second decade as one of the foremost culinary training restaurants in the country, has re-opened with a new look, new logo and enhanced menu. In 1996, when the restaurant first opened, the partnership between Sullivan University and Winston Industries was established and the restaurant was named “Winston’s” in honor of Sullivan benefactor and Winston Industries President, Winston Shelton.
