An 80-item salad bar is just one of the
items offered at a restaurant that opened
recently.
The Greenhouse Inn opened Feb. 6 on
Bush River Road and is the first of three
such independently-owned restaurants to
come to Columbia.
"You have to offer a selection if you
want to have a good salad bar," said Assistant
Vice President Robert Braley.
"We have an 80-item salad bar in addition
to seafood, steaks, and sandwichcs,"
said Robert Hall, vice president of
operations.
"We even have a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich."
Hall said the prices are within a student's
budget. The second Greenhouse Inn will be
located on the ground floor of the
downtown AT&T building and will offer a
student discount. It is scheduled to open

Hendrich, a USC student who works as a
waitress at The Greenhouse Inn.
Hendrich said another attraction to USC
students is that the restaurant serves beer
and wine.
Although The Greenhouse Inn is a family
restaurant, she said she thinks it is a nice
place to go on a date. "It's pretty relaxed,
if you took someone out for the first
time."
The decor, resemhlino -a orppnimncn

hanging and floor plants, freshly cut
flowers in vases, large windows, ceiling
fans and other green furnishings.
''We took the best parts of restaurants
we visited and made one of them," Mall
said.
Hall said, "We serve a breakfast buffet.
Dinners on Friday and Saturday nights include
hand-carved roast beef and Sunday
we have an all-you-can-eat deal, including
the salad bar."
The Greenhouse Inn is oper. seven davs a

Braley said, "If a person walks through
our door and doesn't eat anything, they
aren't hungry."

"We have just started selling things in
malls, too," Martin said.
Martin and Kyser travel across the country
about five times a year selling the items that
they buy from Guatemalan and Mexican
craftsmen.
Martin said that since they are gaining a
reputation in some of the Guatemalan and
Mexican villages, they do not have to shop
around because the sellers come to them.
ALTHOUGH THEY do not plan to buy
from the same people, Kyser said many times
they do see some of the same merchants.
"Different villages have different things,
we may buy all beads from one village and all
of something else from another village,"
Martin said.
Martin and Kyser said that aside from their
selling, they do relief work for a church council
in Colorado by transporting goods to
poverty-stricken people in Mexico.
MARTIN SAID that he would not advise
college students to quit school and sell goods
as they do full time unless they really love
traveling.
"We do it because we love it, don't do it if
you will be in it for the money."
