Rob Mulford & Company Reinvest Into Downtown Salisbury

Out with the old and in with the new. As Flavors closed their doors, Rob Mulford and Joel Olive teamed up together to prove to the Salisbury residents that they want to be a big part of revitalizing Downtown Salisbury.

So much so they have cut a deal to take over the old Flavors and turn it into "MoJo's".  Joel is a culinary graduate of UMES and Rob Mulford, well, we all know Rob but what you may not know is that Rob is also a graduate of Salisbury University. Both will be 50/50 partners.

Both these gentlemen are what Salisbury is looking for. Graduates STAYING here in the Eastern Shore and reinvesting back into our community.

So what might you expect out of MoJo's. Well, there will be no dinner menu. They'll be serving dinner every night but it will be what they called a chalkboard menu. Each meal will be what it is written on the chalkboard that evening, much like they do in New York and Philly. The best kind of food, if you ask me.

Ron and Joel called it, "Food With An Attitude".

They will cater to the business crowd for lunch and it will provide a completely different flare that the Market Street Inn. No reservations, just a great atmosphere, great food and entertainment.

The only reason this entire package came together was because of the Street Scape Grant money, a low interest City Revolving Loan and other grants still being researched. While some might bellyache, I strongly support this move as there's no doubt this space would have remained empty for years and who better to put your trust and belief into than Rob Mulford.

You can expect to see them swing the doors some time in October. MoJo's, Food With Attitude. I like it.

Wonderful news! We need to support him and Joel in this endeavor. Let's not let happen to him what happened to Escape. Now if we could only do away with those blasted parking meters that might deter lunchtime patronage.

3 hour free parking would let success happen.

I wish Rob all the best he is good for our community unlike our pathetic Mayor and City Council.

Nice work gentlemen. Seems like a lot of folks that are SU, SSU or SSC grads tend to put down roots here from other areas. They also tend to open business's, create jobs and add to Salisbury's tax base. I can't wait to visit Mo Jo's when they open

Sure this no connection but we have a Mojos here in Lakeland Fl where it is sort of a sports bar with live music on weekends. Is doing very well

Look, I'm NOT going if I have to see Ireton with his shirt off.

MoJo's will also be able to claim one of Salisbury's finest chefs --- Mr. Rodney Smart --- as theirs. He will be the unsung hero of this operation!
