A Labor of Love in Hi-Nella, NJ
After Two Years of Planning and Building, Mame and Mark Wilson are husband-and-wife business partners of Wilsons Restaurant and Live Music a stunning new 7,800 square-foot, 350-seat restaurant and live music venue located at 709 Warwick Road, Hi-Nella, Camden County, New Jersey. The expansive 5,500 square-foot dining room and bar feature 250 seats inside, 35 of which are located around an expansive square bar, as well as an additional 100 seats on two outdoor patios, which will open in the spring of 2022. This exciting new venture was born out of a $2 million-plus renovation from the Wilsons, who took the landmark building which had been closed for four years and turned it into a stunning restaurant, lounge, and recording studio featuring state-of-the-art sound and lighting and a clean, modern design that includes gorgeous hardwood floors, cobalt blue accents and a few dozen original paintings celebrating Black musicians from the Wilsons personal collection.
Growing up, Marks father owned clubs in Chicago where Buddy Guy and other luminaries would play. Mark grew up with a love for clubs and live music venues. Mark loves creating memories. He adores experiencing the vibe of a buzzing venue and likes challenges, so it felt natural that Mame and Mark were destined to do this. Most of all, Mark loves meeting new people, and cannot wait to meet our guests when we open the doors later this month.
Mame immigrated to the U.S. via Senegal in 1987, moving to New York just out of high school.
Trilingual and raised in an affluent household, Mame earned a degree in International Marketing
from Baruch College, City University in New York. She worked in corporate America for 10
years before becoming an entrepreneur, opening an art gallery in Brooklyn. She would
eventually move her business to Vorhees, NJ, where her LaBelle Art Gallery now specializes in African-American art. Two of her sisters also own restaurants in Brooklyn, and Mame calls her mother a superwoman and her inspiration, raising five highly successful daughters.
Mark, who graduated cum laude from Florida State University, grew up mainly between Key West and New Orleans. A military brat who traveled all across the U.S., he is the son of a 29-year Navy veteran mother. While he went to school to become a pharmacist, he would change
paths and travel the world working for ExxonMobil, living on nearly every continent during his adult life. His father owned two clubs in Chicago The Black Diamond, and the Beat Club. Marks mother is Italian, while his father is French Creole, thus providing him with a diverse
palate of international flavors throughout his childhood. Mark was very persistent when the duo first started talking about doing this, Mame is thankful for that, as she is now proud of their accomplishment. Mame and Mark are super excited to host music and food lovers from all over the region.
Chef Elijah Milligan
Chef Elijah Milligan grew up in Philadelphia, PA, where he discovered his love for cooking at a young age. Getting a taste of the industry at the age of 14 through a family-owned restaurant, Elijah realized his passion and future were behind a stove. Milligan, who has experience working on both coasts at revered standouts Le Bec-Fin and Vernick in Philadelphia, and Angele in the Napa Valley, recently returned to the region after a four-year stint in California. Since returning to the area, Elijah has been involved in, as well as started several community-based projects and events highlighting and targeting a variety of different issues and agendas throughout the region. During the pandemic Chef Milligan created Greenwood Supper Club, a social club inspired by the late Black Wallstreet, where he uses the platform to create intimate, unique, and innovative culinary and dining experiences.
