Blue Coast Burrito will open a second Murfreesboro location near the Walmart on Fortress Boulevard. The Tennessee-based chain offers Baja-style food—or as it says, “surf-Mex”—where customers can build their own burritos, tacos and nachos with grilled chicken and steak, rice, beans, pineapple salsa and more.

Blackberry House Paint, a Murfreesboro-based paint manufacturer and furniture store, has partnered with Opry Entertainment to create a new paint line for Kellie Pickler, who has been curating a special home decor line.
“We feel pretty honored,” said Blackberry House owner Polly Blair. “And for those of you that will ask, yes, Kellie selected her own colors, and she named them all, and she has painted with it.”
Pickler named her paint line Selma Drye after her grandmother. The paint, and other Opry Entertainment products, are only available through shop.opry.com and in the Opry Originals store on Broadway in downtown Nashville.

Just a couple of weeks after Sport Seasons closed, a new restaurant opened at the 1935 S. Church Street building, the original site of Parthenon Grill and, more recently, home to Blue Agave and Sport Seasons. Fusion 9 Indian Restaurant and Sports Bar will keep the sports atmosphere but will bring an Indian cuisine with many chicken, fish, lamb and shrimp dishes, as well as varieties of dosa, a thin Indian pancake made from rice and butter.

Across Church Street, the new building going up next to the Shoney’s will reportedly be a Waffle House. Yes, Waffle House just closed a location just a few buildings down the street last year, and yes, another Waffle House is located just across the interstate, but this one will be at the Rutherford Boulevard and Church Street traffic signal to make for an easier exit. So there you have it, another Waffle House.
