The Grits Café in Forsyth is expected to reopen next month.

The restaurant was rebuilt at its original site at 17 W. Johnson St. after a fire gutted the building in March.

A grand reopening is scheduled for Feb. 2, according to an e-mail from the owners.

“Thanks for all your support. We can’t wait to see everyone soon,” stated the e-mail signed by Terri and Wayne Wetendorf and the Grits Café team.

The restaurant opened across from the Monroe County Courthouse in June 1999, according to the restaurant’s website.
