Indiana Fever Star Erica Wheeler Opens Cliché Restaurant Bar In College Park, Georgia
Indiana Fever star Erica Wheeler is adding a new title to her resume as a business restaurateur. The nine-year WNBA veteran and her business partners opened Cliché Restaurant Bar at 1650 Virginia Ave in College Park, Georgia.
Cliché Restaurant Bar’s culinary experience will be diverse and draw from a unique blend of American and Mediterranean cuisine. Cliché will also feature a hookah lounge.
“In College Park, they don’t have comfort food when it comes to collard greens, yams, [and] sweet potatoes. It is literally five minutes away from the airport,” said Wheeler.
“ So, we thought that was a great location to have something like that because they did not have anything in that area. We have been open for the last two weeks, and reservations have been sold out. So, it has been great.”
