RIBBON CUTTING❤️✂️✂️

We are so thankful to the Monticello-Wayne County Chamber of Commerce for helping us celebrate our ribbon cutting and officially welcome Lee’s back to the community!

A huge thank you to the Wayne County High School Cheerleaders for coming out, showing their support. We also want to thank Main Street Dance Company for coming out and supporting us. Having our local youth and organizations be part of this celebration meant so much to us!

We are incredibly thankful for our corporate team, our trainers, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to help us get to this point. We truly could not have done it without all of the people who poured their time, hard work, and knowledge into helping us get Lee’s ready for Monticello.

And of course, a very special thank you to our five owners who believed in this community, invested in Monticello, and took a chance on bringing Lee’s back home. Your investment means so much more than just a restaurant. It means jobs, opportunity, and another place for our community to come together.

After nearly five years without Lee’s, seeing this building full of people again has been something we will never take for granted.

We are so overjoyed with the progress we’ve made, and even more thankful for the support we’ve received from this community. From our first customer to everyone who has stopped by, shared a post, left a review, brought their family in, or simply encouraged us along the way, THANK YOU.

Here’s to a fresh start, a new chapter, and many more years of Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken in our community!❤️

Monticello, THANK YOU!

At the end of the day, we are absolutely exhausted, but more than anything, we are so incredibly thankful for how today went. Seeing our community come through the doors, support our team, and welcome Lee’s back to Monticello means more to us than we can put into words.

We know today was a BIG day, and we truly appreciate everyone who was patient with us as our new team worked through our first official opening day. We hope you enjoyed your meal and had a great experience with us!

This is more than just reopening a restaurant. It’s a new chapter for Lee’s in Monticello, with new owners, new management, a new team, and a whole lot of heart behind it.

We are incredibly thankful for our community, our owners, our amazing team, and everyone from Lee’s corporate who traveled to Monticello and worked alongside us. Thank you to every person who helped renovate, train, prepare, cook, serve, clean, organize, encourage, and make today possible.
