That's right. Opening sooner than you think. Watch for an "open" sign later this week for Campito Lindo. Frantz Wright, building owner, says he has new owners for the previous Don Jose Mexican Restaurant on North Main Street. The new owners are putting together final touches in getting the restaurant open soon. Watch the Icon for more details.
Note: The Icon acquired a manuscript titled “A Brief History of Bluffton’s Industrial Developments.” This publication was prepared by the classes in Marketing and Small Business Administration from Bluffton College, under the director of Dr. Howard Raid.
