The small corner restaurant in Winona Lake underwent some big remodeling and changes inside of the building, giving it more space for people to enjoy and a place to sit and relax or do some work, according to co-owner Joel Squires.
Members of Light Rail, along with the Village of Winona and the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting on Wednesday to celebrate the fresh look. The cafe reopened on September 1st following several months of renovation. During that time, a pop-up site was open at Cerulean Restaurant.
