New Business - The Grid

By Susan Weikel —  Initially Tiffany and Paul Picotte had planned to start their own small brew pub, but things didn’t work out. One evening while Paul was looking on Craig’s List, he found a listing for Sandwinds. Last January, they went and spoke with Larry Miller, the owner at the time, and on Oct. 15th, 2019, Tiffany and Paul became the new owners of The Grid, Brew Pub and Restarurant at 1120 Taylor Place, Fallon, Nevada. After what Tiffany calls a quick turn-around, “with a lot of hard work, many long hours, and a lot of great help and support,” they had a soft opening on October 23rd. It’s been a time of changing and adjusting for the new owners. “The community, all in all, has been super supportive and very understanding that this is evolving; we have to evolve to understand what we need. We want to match our staffing to what the community’s expectations are,” says Tiffany. “We want people to have the best possible experience. We are very fortunate to have some really great employees who are super knowledgeable.” The Grid offers fresh meats daily from I7 Meat & Cattle Co., the Frey Ranch spirits, 12 different beers on tap (5 of which come from local breweries in the Reno area), and plan to continue to offer more products from local producers. Tiffany hopes that maybe someday there will be ‘The Grid Ice Cream’ made from Sand Hill Dairy’s milk, sock-hop car shows out in the front, a ‘yappie hour’ (bring your dogs in on a leash to the back patio) once a month, and more events to support the  community and offer different activities. There will be a grand opening on November 30th.
