We believe in bringing people together to a place of a thousand good times.
Your best night out, an experience you can’t help but love.
We believe in bringing people together. Not just the guests, but the group of remarkable people looking to join our family as owner-operators of their very own Gigglewaters®.
When the idea for Gigglewaters was born in 2016, we had a vision of the experience we wanted to create. We knew top quality ingredients, mouthwatering, craveable entrees, exquisite cocktails and a well-curated bar, exemplary customer service and an exacting eye for details were paramount in creating an atmosphere of a thousand good times. As we’ve grown year after year, we’ve perfected how to create an experience you can’t help but love.
Gigglewaters is more than just another restaurant. It’s the heartbeat of a community. We’re there for first dates and wedding proposals, family reunions and baby showers, movies you know by heart and share with your kids for the first time. There’s nothing like walking out into your bar on a jumping Saturday night, seeing the ear-to-ear smiles on guests’ faces and knowing you helped put them there.
Experience the magic of bringing people together.
We’re looking for driven leaders who are passionate and enthusiastic. Owners who are willing to work hard and have the innate ability to inspire a team to accomplish something truly remarkable. Owners who understand that caring for your employees and your community is a critical component to your success. Owners who hold themselves and those around them to our extraordinarily high standards; who have the energy and aren’t afraid to learn every job from the ground up in order to build something magical.

Our full service restaurant, bar & one screen classic movie theater is unlike any concept we’ve come across and we’re looking for people who are equally extraordinary.
