In 1996 the Olde Towne tradition began in Kennesaw, Georgia with six tables and twelve barstools. Like his family before him, Bill Leanos dreamed of one day owning his own restaurant. A native of Annapolis Maryland, he is a third generation restaurateur. Bill’s grandfather, on his mother’s side, was in the confectionery business in Baltimore. Grandfather Leanos founded and operated Jim’s Corner Restaurant & Bar in Annapolis. The establishment lasted for almost one hundred years. Handed down through the family it closed in 1998 and its original site is now called Leanos Park in Annapolis.
Bill’s Father & Mother owned several restaurants during their careers, the latest being Annapolis Gourmet. Bill began his career in the restaurant business from his early years working with his father. In tandem, father & son created a highly successful Deli, Restaurant, & Catering business in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
The dream continued in 2003 as Olde Towne was opened in Lawrenceville, Georgia. This beautiful, new restaurant is considered one the best in the area. The Olde Towne name continues to grow. In 2007 Olde Towne Suwanee opened on the beautiful Town Center Park in Suwanee Georgia. This is truly a one of a kind experience with great views of Suwanee Park & Gwinnett’s best outside bar. Our latest plans in 2012 will include Olde Towne Buckhead, in Atlanta’s premier business & shopping district. Also, Olde Towne Kennesaw the “Original” will launch its newest addition to its proud heritage “41 Cork & Tap” an Ultra Lounge with a catering venue that will blend of a range of Musical Acts weekly, Craft Cocktails, Boutique Wines, Vintage Spirits, & Specialty Cigars.
As Olde Towne continues to grow we have built a reputation for uncompromising standards with excellent food, great staff, and honest value. Our goal is to create a cozy place to remember with familar faces and an exciting atmosphere. We realize that you, our customers, are the single most important part of our success here at Olde Towne. We look forward to serving you and greatly appreciate your business. Olde Towne’s proud family heritage of hospitality continues.
Eat, Drink, & Enjoy!
