Flatbread Company's pizzeria/bowling alley opens this Saturday

Enroute to the Farmer's Market today I saw smoke coming from Flatbread Co's chimneys so I went to have a look. Sure enough they were firing up the ovens. The manager invited me inside for a look and said the place would be opening on Saturday.

The "Flatbread Co" chain is actually a spin-off from the original "American Flatbread" thats was started in Waitsfield Vermont, so now there are two small chains. There was a bit of a falling out between the original creator or "American Flatbread" and the owner of "Flatbread Co".

I think the pizza and atmosphere of both are equally good, but the original location in an old farmhouse in Vermont is still the best.

Here is an Inc article on the two:

Looks like there was a similar falling-out, or at least separation, from a franchisee in California that now uses a different name:
