Exciting news for downtown Hardwick! ♥️🍴

The Cork & Fork has new owners! Amie Wright and her husband Michael have officially taken over the restaurant and are continuing to keep the menu rockin' and the bar hoppin!

Restaurant ownership is no small undertaking, and we're so excited to welcome and support Amie and Michael as they begin this new chapter in our downtown. Locally owned restaurants bring so much life, connection, and community to a place like Hardwick, and we hope you'll join us in showing them some love!

Mark and Rick will always hold a special place in this town, and we wish them the best in their next adventure!

Stop in, grab a meal, raise a glass, and help welcome the new owners of The Cork & Fork to this next exciting chapter.
