WILDWOOD, Mo. — The Local House Bistro is set to open in Wildwood this spring, likely before the end of March.
It will mark the second restaurant holding for owner Tim Huelskamp, who last February purchased The Local House Restaurant & Bar, located at 3946 Jeffco Blvd. in Arnold, for about $1 million, he said.
Huelskamp since taking over the Arnold restaurant has grown its sales, with the restaurant last year generating sales of more than $3 million for the first time since its founding in 2014. Now, Huelskamp said he’s looking to expand, as construction on the company’s Wildwood location is underway, and he’s planning additional new concepts.
The upcoming Wildwood location, at 16524 Manchester Road, will be “a little more upscale” than the existing Arnold location, featuring more premium ingredients and a slightly smaller menu, Huelskamp said.
