Locol's return as a nonprofit focuses on economic empowerment through employment and training opportunities, serving classic soul food with a mission to uplift the Watts community.
With prices between $3 and $25, Locol aims to provide affordable, delicious meals while partnering with local youth centers to offer job training and opportunities.
Patterson emphasizes the importance of the restaurant's mission over food itself, stating, 'The economic empowerment is the highest purpose of the business.'
This new iteration of Locol is seen as a relay race, with former Locol kitchen manager Corbin stating it's 'the same concept, same idea' but with different dishes.
