Cotton Mill restaurant to close

The Cotton Mill, a restaurant in the Brookstown Inn at 200 Brookstown Ave., will close after dinner service Saturday.
Stephanie Tyson and Vivian Joiner, who also own Sweet Potatoes on Trade Street, had opened The Cotton Mill in October.
Tyson said today that a combination of factors contributed to the closing of the restaurant. First among those is the poor economy that has caused people to cut back on dining out, especially at higher-end restaurants such as The Cotton Mill.
"It was just bad timing" Tyson said. "Almost as soon as we opened, the economy went into a tailspin."
Other factors included higher food costs, less-than-expected room service from the inn, and a slightly out-of-the-way location.
Tyson said that she and Joiner now will be able to concentrate on Sweet Potatoes. Tyson also is working on a cookbook.
