Pioneering restaurant Mirror up for sale

Mirror — the nine-year-old restaurant that helped launch the 12South neighborhood revival — is for sale, according to the owners. The restaurant’s lease expires next year, and the owners – Michael and Colleen DeGregory and entrepreneur Rick Bolsom — hope to sell the business by sometime in 2010.

Colleen DeGregory said she and her chef husband are exhausted after years of grueling hours running a restaurant, and they miss Miami, where Colleen grew up. “I can’t tell you the last time I’ve seen my family at the holidays,” she said. “Oh, yes I can. Ten years ago,” she added, laughing.
