“It’s exciting. It’s daunting. I couldn’t really fall asleep last night thinking about all the stuff I had to do today,” Gillin said. “It’s going to be great to see people giving us the thumbs up. One girl said she was going to be doing backflips when we opened up, and I was like, ‘Just make sure you stretch first.’”
Greg’s Kitchen is open from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday.
