Now the iconic bar is taking their brand across the Mississippi River to 400 N. Main St., Suite A, in downtown Edwardsville, Illinois, with its first franchise location slated to open in fall 2025.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> \u201cEdwardsville has long been on our radar,\u201d said co-founder Brandon Holzhueter. \u201cIt\u2019s a vibrant, growing city with a strong sense of community and a lively downtown. We couldn\u2019t imagine a better place to debut our first franchise \u2013 which is a huge deal for us as a brand &#8211; because we know our fans on the other side of the river have long been hoping for us to one day have a Metro East location.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p> The new location is right in the heart of Edwardsville\u2019s entertainment district and will feature a courtyard patio with fire pits and sidewalk seating, along with the nautical but polished interior design fans have come to know and love.\n<\/p>\n<p> Shawn and Ashley Beach, who have a lot of combined business experience, are the franchise operators. \u201cWe\u2019ve always loved going to Narwhal\u2019s for our date nights, and during one of those nights out, we started talking about the idea of owning something of our own,\u201d said Shawn Beach. \u201cThat conversation led us to investigate Narwhal\u2019s franchising, and when we saw the opportunity, it just clicked. Their fun, welcoming atmosphere and commitment to quality really aligned with what we wanted to bring to a community. With us being from the Metro East we felt Edwardsville was the perfect place to start. We\u2019re excited to grow from here and look forward to bringing the Narwhal\u2019s experience to even more cities in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fourth
