Owning her new restaurant in St. Columban
a `dream come true' for Lorraine Denneny
You could say it's a dream come
true for Lorraine Denneny of St.
Columban.
On Dec. 21, her restaurant,
Denneny's Grill, opened on Highway
8 in St. Columban.
Denneny gained years of experi-
ence as a manager for several fast
food chains, when living in Milton
and Guelph.
"I always wanted to do this, and
the opportunity finally arose. My
bosses would be proud," she jokes.
Denneny says her restaurant
offers fast, convenient food, such as
burgers, sandwiches, salads and
soups.
"I love to cook and experiment,"
she says, which she has been doing.
On her menu she offers a break-
fast croissant, which comes with
egg, salsa and cheese.
"My patrons are my experi-
menters," she says.
According to Denneny, the best
part so far of owning her own
restaurant is socializing with her
patrons.
Having spent the past eight years
as a stay-at-home mom she jokes,
"It's nice to talk to some adults."
After purchasing the building, the
Dennenys put around $20,000
worth of repairs into the building,
including new drywall, floors, coun-
ters, and kitchen.
All of the work was done by her
husband, Kevin.
`-`He did every single bit of work
you see around here," adding that
she wouldn't have bought the
restaurant if she didn't have some-
one to do the work.
Denneny says she's happy with
her restaurant's progress.
"The community has been very
supportive. I already have regular
customers."
