Ruth's Chris Steak House Opens in Huntsville, Alabama
Ruth's Chris Steak House, Inc. (NASDAQ:RUTH) announces the opening of its newest restaurant in Huntsville, Ala. Located at 800 Monroe St. in the Embassy Suites & Spa, the franchise-owned restaurant opened its doors October 23.
The Huntsville Ruth's Chris is owned by Nancy & Mark Oswald and Jim and Phil Brooks. The Brooks family has been a Ruth's Chris franchisee since 1986, when they opened the Buckhead restaurant in Atlanta, Ga. The Oswalds have been franchise owners since 1993, when they partnered with the Brooks to open the Ruth's Chris restaurant in Birmingham, Ala.
Invited guests and local dignitaries, including Congressman Bud Cramer and Mayor of Hunstville, Loretta Spencer, celebrated the arrival of the new Ruth's Chris restaurant during pre-opening charity events where over $8,000 was raised for The National Children's Advocacy Center. The Mayor joined the guests in a traditional Second-line parade led by the New Orleans Jazz band, The Storyville Stompers.
"Huntsville has eagerly anticipated the opening of Ruth's Chris Steak House since it was first announced. We are very pleased to have the 'sizzle' born in New Orleans now in our city and look forward to many great steaks in an atmosphere that only Ruth's Chris can provide," said Mayor Spencer.
The restaurant is located in the Embassy Suites & Spa adjacent to the Von Braun Center. Ruth's Chris Huntsville features prominent red-and-gold tones, complemented by the open-atrium hotel lobby area. The restaurant features an expansive terrace overlooking alluring Big Springs Park and offers outdoor dining space with seating for up to 100.

"The time and the place is right," said Craig Miller, chairman and chief executive of Ruth's Chris Steak House.

"It's a credit to the city of Huntsville, and Huntsville is a credit to Ruth's Chris."
