A restaurant spawned by the Academy Award-winning movie "Forrest Gump" is coming to Baltimore's Harborplace.
Harborplace officials announced Wednesday that Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. will take the place of Phillips Seafood Restaurant after it leaves its space at the popular Inner Harbor location.
The restaurant is expected to open in May 2012 and will offer tasty seafood in a casual family atmosphere.
"Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is a great new restaurant and attraction for the Inner Harbor and Harborplace," said Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. "Today's announcement builds upon the recent additions of Lenny's Delicatessen, H&M and this summer’s opening of IT’SUGAR."
The restaurant brings to life the 1994 hit movie “Forrest Gump,” featuring down-home decor reminiscent of the movie’s Alabama setting. Film memorabilia and still photos will decorate the walls, along with reproductions of script pages, storyboards and costumes.
