Furniture World Magazine

Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. and Market Square are excited to announce its newest addition to the building. Local restaurateur Sammy Gianopoulos, owner of Gianno’s and Aquaria in High Point, will officially open Sammy G’s Steakhouse and The Boiler Room Bar & Grill during the upcoming Spring High Point Market, March 26 – April 1, 2007. “We are very excited to have a well-known local restaurant owner join our building,” said Tom Mitchell, senior vice president and general manager of Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. “I know patrons will be very pleased with the incredible food and the fabulous service they will receive at both Sammy G’s Steakhouse and the Boiler Room.” Located on the first floor of Historic Market Square, Sammy G’s Steakhouse will feature a new twist on the traditional steak and seafood restaurant. Sammy G’s will be serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner during Market. Reservations will be accepted. Set among the building’s one-of-a-kind antique boiler system located on the ground and mezzanine levels of Historic Market Square, The Boiler Room Bar & Grill will give market-goers the opportunity to relax and enjoy a dining experience like no other. The Boiler Room will offer lunch and drink specials daily. When asked why he chose Market Square for his new restaurant location, Gianopoulos replied, “I have been serving Market visitors in my restaurants in High Point for years, so I know how important it is for them to get great food at a fair price which is exactly what they will get in these two new restaurants. And, you can’t beat the atmosphere in this historic repurposed building that showcases the workings of the original factory like the old boilers in the Boiler Room Bar & Grill.” Owner, Gianopoulos comes from a long line of restaurant owners. His father, uncle, and his brother are all in the business. He began helping in his father’s restaurant when he was 10 years old. Gianopoulos owns and operates two very successful restaurants in High Point; Gianno’s and Aquaria. For more information about catering or reservations, call (336) 889-4485.
