One of Whitehall’s Only Coffee Shops May Serve Caffeinated Beverages Once Again
Real estate developer Roark Merrill, who owns the Whitehall Armory, has purchased Historic Grounds. The Whitehall coffee shop had closed in 2020 due to the pandemic. Merrill told NYVT Media that he wants to open it back up as a coffee shop, and he’s looking for a local person to manage and ideally eventually own the establishment.
Rachel’s Cafe & Spice Company Gets Influx of Orders Thanks to Rachael Ray
This week’s Glens Falls Chronicle details a fun story highlighting a boost for a local business! Unknowing to Rachel’s Cafe & Spice Company co-owners Dave and Rachel Dutra, Rachael Ray used her loaded salt and pepper on a Christmas Eve show. When online orders started pouring in the Dutras were floored; when Ray used the spice again the following Monday, this time giving the company a shout out, orders spiked again. Rachael, Rachel, and Dave are all Lake George High School graduates.
