As a Fairfield County-based commercial real estate brokerage firm, Choyce Peterson is thrilled to see the Garden Catering Expansion in Connecticut continue with new locations in Shelton and Darien. Their commitment to quality food and community engagement reflects the vibrant dining scene that makes Connecticut such a great place to live and work.
We’re excited to share that Garden Catering, a beloved Connecticut-based eatery known for its famous hand-cut chicken nuggets, is growing its presence in the state with two new locations:
- Darien, CT – 320 Heights Road
- Shelton, CT – 702 Bridgeport Avenue
Our office is located between the two communities, making this expansion especially exciting for our team!
Founded in Old Greenwich in the late 1970s, Garden Catering has become one of Connecticut’s most recognizable restaurant brands. With a loyal following, strong community ties, and a menu that has become a local favorite, the company now operates multiple locations throughout Connecticut and continues to expand into neighboring markets.
The Garden Catering Expansion in Connecticut Reflects Continued Local Business Growth
The growth of locally owned businesses plays an important role in the economic vitality of Fairfield County and communities across Connecticut. Restaurant expansions not only create jobs and attract customers, but also help strengthen the commercial corridors that contribute to vibrant town centers.
“Garden Catering has built a remarkable following over the years by delivering a quality product and staying connected to the communities it serves,” said John Hannigan, Principal at Choyce Peterson. “As a longtime fan myself, it’s exciting to see a Connecticut-grown company continue to expand while maintaining the local character that has made it so successful.”
As Connecticut continues to attract new residents and businesses, successful local brands like Garden Catering help reinforce the sense of community and quality of life that make the region such an attractive place to live and work.
Congratulations to Garden Catering on this exciting expansion, and best wishes for continued success in Shelton, Darien, and beyond.
