CilantroMex celebrates grand opening at Destiny USA

Syracuse, NY CilantroMex celebrated its grand opening at Destiny USA. It is the first restaurant in New York State for the expanding CilantroMex brand, which originated in Rhode Island and is swiftly expanding throughout the states of New York and Massachusetts. The opening of CilantroMex at Destiny USA is just the beginning of additional plans for more CilantroMex restaurants in the New York region. As one of New York’s largest shopping, dining and entertainment destinations, Destiny USA welcomes 25 million visitors annually. CilantroMex CEO Don Jones has worked with the Pyramid Management Group, LLC on numerous ventures over the years and nothing seemed more promising than to launch the brand’s national platform in Destiny USA. CilantroMex is anticipating being visited by over 300,000 guests annually, from both the U.S. and Canada. CilantroMex is thrilled to work with a talented team of architects, contractors, and designers to make this vision a reality. Phaze Zero Design, All Wall Builders, Gerharz Equipment and INNOVEX have all been a tremendous help and instrumental to the CilantroMex team as it moves forward in transforming the fast-casual restaurant scene. The new restaurant is located on Destiny USA’s second floor of the Canyon directly outside of the pedestrian bridge. The CilantroMex restaurant is pursuing Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design certification. The LEED program ensures buildings are designed and constructed using clean energy. CilantroMex is committed to be an asset to each and every community they enter, and Syracuse is no exception. Customers and mall guests are urged to participate in CilantroMex’s monthly charitable events including its company-wide Toys for Tots campaign this holiday season.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian
