492.1And...... ?ZENDIA::DONAHUEWed Aug 09 1995 14:215
    So what's the scoop? Just the announcement?
    
    Come on Paul, you MUST know more than you're letting on...:-)
    If not, ask Brenda :-)
    
492.2Non payment - does it every time!ZENDIA::DONAHUEWed Aug 09 1995 15:152
    Well I did some snooping and it IS for the obvious IRS reasons, 
    non payment of taxes.
492.3TOOK::MORRISONBob M. LKG1-3/A11 226-7570Fri Aug 11 1995 12:303
  Was the Copper Kettle doing lots of business when it was open, or was business
down considerably? From here, it looks like they were a victim of the Mill
closing, like most of the other failed businesses in downtown Maynard.
492.4Business was going down hillZENDIA::DONAHUEFri Aug 11 1995 14:393
    I spoke to one of the former waitresses. She  said that business had
    been going down hill for a while and that patrons were complaining
    about higher prices.

   Well, they had to pay for all that remodeling, didn't they :-)

"GRAND OPENING COMING SOON"
492.7OPENING ON SATURDAY!!!ICS::IGNACHUCKNative MaynardianTue Dec 05 1995 14:4610
    At last night's Selectmen's meeting, The Kettle got it's common
    victualler's license (which means they can sell food) and they
    plan on opening up on Saturday morning.
    
    This is a completely different restaurant, with new owners (from
    Newton Center) and a new menu.  Only the name is the same.  
    
    I think this is GREAT news for downtown!

I don't think it opened as anticipated in .-1, but it was open this last
weekend.  Saw several customers.
492.9Restaurant UpdateICS::IGNACHUCKNative MaynardianTue Dec 19 1995 14:059
    I don't know what happened to delay the opening, but it finally 
    happened.
    
    In other news:
    The Selectmen are meeting tonight with the owners of another 
    restaurant, The Boston Bean House, that will be opening soon
    in the former Boucher Cosmetique location at Main and Nason.

Having sampled the fare a few months back, that doesn't surprise me in
the least...
