Melt Shoppe

You in? Eat. Laugh. Thrive. Melt Shoppe was created by the highly-deficient and often-restless minds of Dave Burton and Libor Vitu, frequent collaborators, partners, and consultants in a variety of restaurant concepts. Combined, the two have opened over 200 restaurants.

While visiting a local watering hole to unwind, the two thought how great would it be to develop a concept that's warm, inviting, delicious, adventurous, friendly, and fun - that focused on the ultimate comfort food: grilled cheese. Here, the vision for Melt Shoppe was formed. Knowing that any relatively decent idea formed by men needed a woman's touch to become great, the two brought in the highly talented and well-tattooed Larissa Pepe to help with Melt Shoppe's development.

This Justice League-like trio continues to look for Melt Shoppe to be a place where guests can feel comfortable, relax, forget about their day, and enjoy bold yet approachable flavors at a great value. Our life motto here at Melt Shoppe is Eat. Laugh.Thrive., and we sincerely thank you for your patronage.
