Doughnuts and coffee will be given away as an opening day courtesy. A specialty of the restaurant will be a merchants' noon day luncheon which will feature a home-cooked hot plate lunch each day. Steaks and chicken will be other specialties. Hours at Topahollow will be 7 a.m. to 12 midnight daily except Saturday when the business will be open until 2 a.m. A small grocery line is also being carried. The interior of the restaurant is in knotty pine with blue upholstered booths. The service station portion of the business will include a dealership in Phillips 66 products and complete greasing service. There will also be facilities for welding. Mullen owned a filling station at thirteenth and Grand for a number of years until selling out last June.
