GRAEAGLE RESTAURANT REOPENS

This marks the 62nd year for this prominent and popular downtown eatery and the 18th year for owner/operators Candi Ward and Ed Ward.

ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING MOON’S
Mike and Lisa Kelly shared with us that after seven terrific years and after meeting lots and lots of wonderful people they decided it was time to make that difficult decision to sell their landmark dinner house, Moon’s the restaurant somewhere in Quincy. However, the hardworking couple added that when it sells they plan to start a new venture in Quincy, a town they absolutely love and want to see continue to prosper. Lisa and Mike want their patrons to know that until they find “the right buyer(s)” they will continue to provide the best food, service and dining experience that has been the restaurant’s brand for several decades. If, by chance, you want to know about this business opportunity I would suggest you give them a call at the restaurant.
