RJ Gator's Founder Gives Restaurants Another Try
The founder of RJ Gator's is back in the restaurant business. Tim Timoteo is opening a new 125-seat spot called Berry Fresh Cafe in Port St. Lucie later this month. He sold his Palm Beach County house, bought a smaller place in Port St. Lucie, and pumped the rest of the money from the sale into the restaurant. Interestingly enough, the bad economy pushed him back into the restaurant business; he couldn't make enough money as a realtor in this market, so he went back to what he knew best.
In another sign of a bad economy, Timoteo has already received 600 applications for just 30-35 positions at the new restaurant.
