Something Different

Opening in 1988 and originally named the Swiss Colony, the restaurant was located inside the front entrance of the Parkwood mall in Wilson North Carolina.  Selling sandwiches, meats and cheese from a deli counter, the original owners quickly added more tables and chairs for seating, and “Something Different” was born.

In June 1998, the store moved to Airport Boulevard and opened a lunch-service restaurant and catering business. Quickly outgrowing that space, they moved to their current location in June, 2003.

Boasting a 6600 sq ft. building with a dining room larger than 3600 sq ft. for functions and events, they now offer a full-service, white-linen dining and banquet facility. A fleet of 10 vehicles serves their catering business throughout the region.

Through the years, the traditional food and quality service have stayed the same as it was in 1989, and the diverse menu is always expanding. The original wooden Something Different sign from the Parkwood Mall now hangs inside their new location, displaying their heritage and commitment to serving community and surrounding area with exceptional food and catering services.

Something Different is located at 3342 Airport Blvd NW and is open Monday through Friday from 11:00am to 2:00pm. Stop by for a great lunch or call them to find out more about their catering services.
