Hey everyone! In case you are out of the rumor loop, I just wanted to reach out to my loyal customers and confirm that the store is, in fact, being sold. It’s been my honor and privilege to serve this community for the last 22 years. My moving on will be bittersweet as I’ve been lucky enough to spend half my life, thus far, serving the cast of characters and personalities that make our beloved town of Winter Harbor…both unique and, in my opinion, the best place to live in the entire State of Maine. I’m taking with me a multitude of quips, stories, and life lessons from those who have gone on before me that will echo in my mind for the rest of my life. The new owners are philanthropists at heart and have been stewards to the Schoodic community for decades. It’s my belief that their vision, combined with the expert leadership they’ve brought on board will ensure that the Foodservice will not only survive but THRIVE well into the future. It was my goal when I bought this place in 2011 to make it a better place to shop for the Schoodic Peninsula residents, and by selling to these folks I can officially say mission accomplished. From what I’ve heard big changes are coming, and I’m just as excited as you all are to see what lies in store for this central hub of our community. My final words as owner are simple. Honor your elders. Respect them, help them when they need help and listen to what they have to say. Help your neighbor, especially those that can’t help themselves and, above all, cherish every moment that you get to spend in this, the greatest town in the world, Winter Harbor, Maine! My thanks to all who have supported me over the years!
