Brick Alley founders Ralph and Pat Plumb said: “Our goal when we started Brick Alley was to build a restaurant that could be a place for everyone to enjoy. Retiring is never an easy or simple decision, however, we feel incredibly fortunate that the next owners of Brick Alley are keeping the entire team in place, including our son Matt, who has been a member of the Brick Alley team for over 20 years.”
The Heritage Restaurant Group spokesperson Michael Anderson said: “Brick Alley is a cherished spot for locals and a must-see for visitors, thanks to its prime location and reputation as a community landmark.
“Our investment is aimed at adding value where it’s needed without changing the core of what makes the Brick Alley a beloved landmark. This includes supporting the restaurant’s successful operations and exploring expansion opportunities, such as adding a refreshed back patio and increasing marketing efforts.”
