Hundreds crowded onto the Malt Shop property to celebrate its grand opening under owners Hart and Shawn Allen.
Serving hamburgers, malts, and ice cream since 1958, the Shop needed a new coat of pink paint, updated menu, more employees, and a new attitude, according to Hart.
“We wanted to build a place where the community could come to eat, visit with friends, and make new ones,” he said, looking around at his guests. “I think we have a good start.”
Music was provided by the singer Anthem, who was crooning as families were playing cornhole and enjoying ice cream together. Dozens surrounded the picnic tables, still more hanging out near their motorcycles, trying to decide what to order.
Young and old, Hart was pleased at the cross section of the community represented.
The Malt Shop is holding trivia contests each Thursday evening and planning car shows, a sock hop, and many more events for the summer.
