Local Spiffing Up!

Posted

These first months of the year can be a quiet time for local retailers and coffee shops, and in Manchester and Essex two shops used that time to temporarily close for light renovations. 

In Manchester, Laughing Gull opened this week after a three-week interior renovation.  Here, owners Dede and Bruce Warren take a moment between customers to smile behind the Laughing Gull’s new display counter.  They’re particularly happy about the efficiency upgrades to the kitchen.

Then, the folks at Googan’s Galley in Essex pose in front of the restaurant’s upgraded counter after a two-week renovation.  Just in time for the new season’s rush!
