Labor Day’s the day for the new location of the Italian chain.

From BlueRidgeNow.com:

The 400 Airport Road location is the newest Olive Garden in the chain of more than 750 local restaurants, according to the release. Doors will open at 11 a.m.

The 7,441-square-foot restaurant can host up to 246 guests and features a design inspired by traditional farmhouses found in Tuscany, Italy. Olive Garden design teams traveled to Italy to work with Italian architects Fabio and Lucia Zingarelli and the result is a restaurant design that recreates the warmth and simple beauty of a Tuscan farmhouse, the release says.
