The owners of Gather On Main in downtown Princeton announced Tuesday that the restaurant would officially close Thursday.
Owners Cathy and Cray Lewis opened the restaurant in March 2020. She made the announcement on social media Tuesday stating that owning your own business and opening a restaurant comes with challenges during any timeframe. She added that opening 5 days before this country was rocked by Covid made those challenges even harder and the post-Covid economy made it even more challenging.
She said after they spent a couple of weeks enjoying their family together, they came to the realization that working so many hours a week, never being able to fully unplug from work even during “non-work” hours, giving up nights and weekends to work, and doing all of this without the return of a stable pay, just “isn’t in the cards” for their family anymore.
Lewis said they have dedicated more than 3 years to restoring two buildings and opening a dream restaurant in this little town. She added today they are moving their dedication on to other things.
According to Lewis, the restaurant and building are officially up for sale.
Gather on Main officially closed Thursday.
