Brew-Bachers owners buy Prairieville restaurant

The owners of local sandwich chain Brew-Bachers have purchased the Prairieville location of On The Half Shell, a seafood restaurant. Details of the sale were not released, but Davis Dicharry, one of the owners of Brew-Bachers, says few changes are planned. On the Half Shell will keep its name and its 30 employees. “We really like the brand and the concept,” says Dicharry, who says the only changes in the works are to start accepting Visa and Mastercard and creating a lunch menu. “A lunch menu is on the horizon,” he says. There are six Brew-Bachers restaurants in the Capital Region. On The Half Shell has been in business since 1996; the Bluebonnet Boulevard location was not included in the sale.—Timothy Boone
