Tim and Colleen Holmes, owners of Wheatfields Restaurants, are introducing another dining concept in Saratoga County, this time bringing families and foodies hand-tossed pizzas, craft beer, boutique wines and a full-service bar. Bonacio Construction’s Springs at 74 Weibel Avenue will house this new eatery, the BWP Local Grille. The restaurant will offer lunch, dinner and carry-out in an inviting contemporary space that includes a three-season outdoor patio with fire pits.

In the Capital Region, the Holmeses have established themselves as successful restaurant-industry veterans, first with Wheatfields Restaurant and Bar on Broadway in downtown Saratoga Springs in 2004, then with Wheatfields Bistro and Wine Bar at the Crossings in Clifton Park in 2009. With 30 years each of experience in the hospitality industry, the Holmeses are excited to add BWP Local Grille to their lineup. Having both worked for major restaurant groups in cities such as Boston and Chicago, Tim and Colleen Holmes are experienced in delivering high-quality, consistent fare and service that make people keep coming back for more.

“We believe strongly that the two primary factors in a fantastic dining experience are the quality of the fare and the quality of the service,” said Colleen Holmes. “We don’t skimp on either.”

The Holmeses invest in ongoing quality training for all staff.

The Springs, a new mixed-use property, presented a great opportunity for them to expand their company, bringing more than 300 residents right to the doorstep of BWP Local Grille, as well as co-tenants who attract customers to the location every day.

The owners hope BWP Local Grille will bring an exciting new vibe and amenity to this Bonacio Construction property.

“We are thrilled to welcome Tim and Colleen’s latest original concept to one of our newest properties, the Springs,” said Bonacio Construction owner Sonny Bonacio. “Since the Holmeses are two of the leading restaurant owners in the area, we look forward to the excitement and buzz they will bring to 74 Weibel Avenue this fall.”

At its scheduled September 2014 opening, BWP Local Grille will occupy 3,800 square feet. Check out the eatery during the Showcase of Homes tour this fall.
