Wiscasset restaurant calls it quits after four decades
Le Garage Restaurant, which has served ice cream and chowder in Wiscasset since 1974, will close April 30.
The Portland Press Herald reported that 60-to-70-hour weeks have taken their toll on the owner, Cheryl Lee Rust.
The restaurant was founded by her mother and stepfather, Charlotte and Crosby Hodgman. Rust, 68, bought the restaurant from them in 1977 and has run it 11 months of the year ever since, closing only in January.
“I really feel like someone younger and more on track with contemporary expectations can take this to its next step,” Rust told the Press Herald.
