He works alongside his daughter Brylee, she’s the manager of the restaurant.
They both say the community support has been tremendous.
“The last two months we’ve been working to get it open, it’s been great. The whole town has really struck it, you know, they’ve really helped out and pushed and people have done everything they could to help us,” said Bradley.
“I used to come here a lot with my grandpa and my dad growing up, and it was just a great spot and everyone in this community wanted Eddie’s back, and I was happy to bring it back for them,” added Brylee.
Eddie’s is open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.
