A sign on the front entrance of the Country Pantry states that it will open Thursday Morning under new ownership:

I do so dislike getting information second hand - as it tends to be painted in the flavor of the speaker, but I heard ownership talks were kept quiet purposely as there was already a potential buyer. Also heard that after it closed, at least 5 Fairfax families I know seriously considered the purchase. ALL I spoke to said that they had no intentions of changing anything. OH well, let's hope the new owner continues what's worked for the Country Pantry.

"continues what's worked for the Country Pantry"
IF they closed, did it really work?
Don't get me wrong. I liked to eat at the Country Pantry from time to time. The service was always great, the food was always good, and certainly a great value. I also greatly appreciate that they opened the night of the Steeple to serve a lot of cold, wet and hungry firefighters.
Good Luck to the new owners.

I think the lines on sunday speak volumes on what works for them. If there are any changes, i'd hope they're more of the " Adding More Healthy Menu Options" variety.

Did all 5 families have the available funds, that is the true test of a bonified buyer. I personally did not like the menu or the food at the restaurant. Hope they change it and get a better cook |

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they didn't like the food or the menu. I especially enjoyed having breakfast there. What would you do differently, Dearon?

It's obvious - it's just not dearon's type of food - as you really can't cook Diner food any better - there's suppose to be grease and fat in diner food.
The point is that ALL 5 families heard that it was closed and entertained thoughts of ".... if we owned it........." There as NO public notice of it being for sale - until the news hit this site with the poster stating it was under new ownership. Thus none of theose 5 families consudered it seriously as there was no indication that it was for sale. Hence forth, the question of being finanically able to purchase it was never fully researched.
I'm thinking the new owner is probably kin of the previous owner or perhaps long-time workers there.

Regardless of the circumstances behind the owner's decision to sell and how it was done the fact is that if you want to go out to eat in Fairfax right now there is no place to do so. The Country Pantry has been a convenient way for locals to enjoy a meal without driving to St. Albans or Burlington and at a reasonable price. I hope that the new owners are able to get things up and running quickly and that they are able to provide Fairfax with a restaurant that we need & want.
