Shawn and Cynthia Gregory are opening their third Halligan Bar and Grill at 10180 Lakeridge Parkway. They opened the first of their firefighter-themed restaurants in 2008 at 3 North 17th St. and lateradded a spotin West Broad Village at 2451 Old Brick Road.

Shawn Gregory said he wasn’t looking to open another restaurant.

That was until last fall when Gregory said he received a flier from Blackwood Development Co. in search of a barbecue concept for its Northcross Center.

“I’ve always been a fan of Green Top,” Gregory said of the outdoor sports store that anchors the shopping center. “My original conversation was to have a mobile food stop there.”
