While others in the industry scrambled to pivot toward takeout and delivery, the Harwood District, home to nine restaurants, has taken what has been nearly a year of closure to revamp and reevaluate its restaurant business models.
“Together, we initiated a powerful renaissance within Harwood Hospitality Group while our concepts were temporarily closed,” Harwood Hospitality Group vice president Michael Muskat said.
With no pressure from landlords Harwood privately owns and operates all of its properties the district has been able to implement a phased reopening process preceded by employee training, menu remakes, new culinary leadership, and interior remodels.
