A home-grown Chattanooga restaurant that closed at the start of the year due to the coronavirus will reopen on Wednesday with a new owner having one eye on the past and another on the future.

“It’s a great match for the skill sets we have in marketing and in culinary,” said Susan Harris, president and chief executive of owner See Rock City Inc.

Good Dog, located at 34 Frazier Ave. on the North Shore, will open for lunchtime hours of 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. five days a week initially, said Doug Chapin, the company’s director of specialty operations.

“As we get staffed up and make sure we’re setting reasonable expectations for our team, later on we’ll move into dinner,” he said about the eatery that will open Wednesdays through Sundays.

Susan Wybenga opened the eatery 13 years ago. It was based on her childhood family travels highlighting historical sites and a variety of hot dog shops.
