Food Prep Services Roanoke cuts the ribbon on new restaurant

ROANOKE (WSLS10) - Food Prep Services Roanoke celebrated a major milestone and opened its own café on Thursday.

The FPS Café and Spirits, located inside the Patrick Henry lobby, offers healthy dishes at a reasonable price. All lunch items are under $10.

FPS Roanoke Owner Jim Thomas, who originally went to school to become a doctor, said he started this food prep service about a year ago in hopes of giving people healthier options.

"You eat out and say ‘I know it's not good for me but'…and then, over five to 10-years you're going to suddenly find that you've gained 20 pounds, have high blood pressure and cholesterol issues," said Thomas. "It can all be prevented with proper diet."

Meals at FPS Café and Spirits can be eaten there or purchased to go.
