Restaurateur Dave Magrogan is continuing his intensive focus on opening his wildly successful farm-to-table focused Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar locations around the U.S. Recently, Magrogan closed the doors of his Doc Magrogan’s Oyster House in Moosic, PA, after six years in business so that he and his team can re-brand and rebuild the restaurant into his eighth Harvest Seasonal Grill, which is set to open in April at 7011 Shoppes Boulevard in Moosic, PA.
The Moosic Harvest Seasonal Grill will come approximately a month prior to the Newtown, PA, location, which will be the first Harvest location in Bucks County when it opens later this spring. The Moosic Doc Magrogan’s closed its doors for the final time on Monday, January 16, with one last “buck-a-shuck” special.
“All good things must come to an end, but we are excited for what’s in store for our future in the Scranton area,” said Magrogan. “We opened our first Harvest Seasonal Grill in Glen Mills in 2010, and the brand has been an incredible success ever since. Our Doc Magrogan’s Oyster House concept thrived for six fantastic years at this location, but we’re moving forward in a more healthy, locally sourced culinary direction. The new Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar will be under the same management and will retain as many of the staff who would like to continue working with us, and all active gift cards will be honored when the new restaurant opens.”
“Both our staff and the adventurous Lacawanna County community will love the Harvest concept, which offers a seasonally changing, locally sourced farm-to-table menu using only sustainable, organic and healthy ingredients that pair beautifully with 50 wines by the glass, seasonal cocktails and craft beers,” added Magrogan. “The response to Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar has been unprecedented, as there is a clear desire from a culture of active Americans who tirelessly seek to live a healthy, active lifestyle to visit the concept multiple times each week.”
Magrogan has built his Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar brand with a keen focus on premium beverages, a serious selection of under 500-calorie menu options, and a focus on non-GMO, healthier and “cleaner” ingredients that are all sourced within 100 miles of each location. Each operation utilizes a network of approximately 50–100 area farms, and none of his Harvest Seasonal Grills contain a freezer.
“Local farmers are the heart of our business model,” said corporate executive chef Josh Short. “The resurgence of small farms coupled with the public’s interest in knowing where their food comes from has made Harvest Seasonal Grill a very popular choice among a large population of Americans who care more about what they put in their bodies today. With each location we open, we are as proud to create new jobs as we are to provide increased business to the hard-working purveyors who grow our produce, catch our fish and raise the livestock that we utilize to compose the delicious seasonal menu items that our guests have come to love. Without our supplier network, none of this is possible.”
