The eatery is Hoover’s second French-themed Petite Chou. The other is on Westfield Boulevard in Broad Ripple.
The Clay Terrace location initially will serve breakfast and lunch. Dinner will be available starting April 8, said Hoover, who will compete with larger, chain restaurants at the outdoor mall managed by Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group Inc.
“What I thought was lacking as a consumer, and what Simon thought was lacking as an owner-operator, was a strong independent [restaurant],” she said. “I think we’ll fill a niche in that market.”
Hoover opened her first Cafe Patachou at 49th and Pennsylvania streets 20 years ago. She has since opened four others: in Simon’s downtown headquarters, at the Indianapolis International Airport’s civic plaza, at River Crossing, and at 126th Street and Gray Road in Carmel.
