A Madison County eatery plans to bring new life this month to the former Mullins Restaurant space near downtown Huntsville.

Galen's, founded by Steve Turner in 2012, will expand his business June 19 on 607 Andrew Jackson Way N.E. The restaurant's flagship location on U.S. 431 in New Hope will remain open through the transition.

Turner said he has been leasing the space since March and is eager to open a second Galen's at the property, which will have a slimmed-down menu and sound system.

"It was attractive to me because it came fully-equipped and it's a great location," he said. "I'm looking forward to being here."

Galen's will be open from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. all week and later expand to offer dinner hours. Turner said the restaurant will provide full-service catering for small parties and large groups.

Turner said the space needs new paint and some kitchen upgrades but is mostly ready to go. He does not plan to serve alcohol at the new location.

There has been a lot of interest in the building from former Mullins customers.

"Every day that we're here, somebody is stopping by and wants to know about the menu," he said.

Galen's, which will employ 40-60 workers in Huntsville, is still accepting applications. Turner said prospective workers can apply in person at the new location from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Five Points building was home to Mullins until it closed suddenly in 2014. Huntsville natives Mark and Cindy Schrimsher took over the eatery a few months after Mullins shut down, only to shutter it again in January 2016.
