Before There Was Mert’s Heart & Soul…
There was GA Restaurant & Catering.
Before Mert’s became a part of Uptown Charlotte, our journey was already underway through GA Restaurant & Catering.
These photos take us back to an earlier chapter of our story—a time of preparing food, catering events, building relationships, and doing what we loved.
Looking back, it's amazing to see how far we've come and to remember the people and experiences that helped us along the way.
As we share the history of Mert’s throughout October, we invite you to take a walk down memory lane with us.
Because the story of Mert’s didn't begin when we opened our doors. It began long before that.
