Starkville’s Bin 612 and Mugshots will be making renovations this semester.
Both restaurants are in the process of updating their spaces to keep up with growing business. Bin 612 and Mugshots are making small and large changes to better serve their customers. 
Bin 612 plans to move and expand the kitchen next door where Desert Rose was located and add more seating on the other side where District Salon was previously located. In addition, Bin 612 is adding on to the front patio to allow for more outdoor seating.  An upgraded bathroom is also in the works for the new space.
New televisions will be hung and a gated back patio with a bar and tables will be added. Not only is the space expanding, but the menu as well. Bin 612 will eventually offer an even larger variety of menu items and will be open for lunch hours. Menu changes include a blue plate menu and Sunday brunch buffet. Paul Brasfield, general manager of Bin 612, said the restaurant has always had to deal with having a small kitchen with limited room for space and seating.
“These changes are things that we have wanted for a long time and somehow the stars aligned for the perfect time to expand and get the connecting suites,” Brasfield said, “Get ready for a bigger and better Bin 612.”
Mugshots has already made several renovations to their restaurant, including adding family-oriented booths and a new bar top in the upstairs space, as well as upgrading the bathroom with new tile. Upcoming plans include adding several 22-inch and 32-inch televisions on both floors and a new front entrance.
“Our customers can continue to expect great service and a great place for people to come together and enjoy the best burger in town,” manager John Dean Swift said.
Mugshots plans to finish the changes by the end of January, and Bin 612 plans to finish by the end of March.
