HARPER'S RESTAURANT GROUP
After managing several restaurants in Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, and Washington D.C., North Carolina native Tom Sasser joined friend John Collett in 1987 to establish Harper's Restaurant in Charlotte. Sasser and Collett brought in Collett's brother Robert, and friends Hugh Bigham and Bill Branstrom to form the Harper's Restaurant Group partnership.
