Peddler's Village To Reopen Friday With Expanded Outdoor Dining

LAHASKA, PA — After more than two months of being closed, Peddler's Village will reopen Friday.

The outdoor shopping village will have expanded outdoor dining, weekend sidewalk sales, and new safety measures in place.

Full-service outdoor dining at Buttonwood Grill, Earl’s New American, Cock ‘n Bull, and Hart’s Tavern will be offered. (Outdoor service at Buttonwood Grill and Earl’s New American will begin on June 5; outdoor service at the Cock ‘n Bull and Hart’s will begin in mid-June.)

A tent will be put on the Main Green to accommodate diners at the Cock ‘n Bull and Hart’s Tavern. Buttonwood Grill diners will be served on the restaurant deck and Earl’s diners will be served in the nearby courtyard area.

Tables will be placed at least six feet apart, and servers will adhere to "strict new safety procedures," according to information from Peddler's Village.

Outdoor dining will be available daily from noon to 8 pm at Buttonwood Grill and Earl’s New American. At the Cock ‘n Bull and Hart’s, outdoor dining will be available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from noon to 8 pm. Takeout/curbside service will also be offered from noon to 8 pm.

Also, stores will offer sidewalk sales on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. Most shops will be open daily starting at 11 a.m. Capacity restrictions will be in place.

Giggleberry Fair will remain closed.

“We are very excited to bring Peddler’s Village back to life,” said Chief Operating Officer Bob McGowan. “Of course, safety will continue to be our priority. We have spent the last two months sanitizing spaces and putting into place new materials, supplies, and procedures so guests will feel comfortable and protected. On our vast, open-air property, people can again enjoy fresh air, shopping, outdoor dining, and walking through the gardens. They can have a long-awaited, almost-normal experience while still social distancing and practicing caution.”

There will be hand sanitizer kiosks throughout the Village. Masks will be required in all interior spaces, including shops. Masks are strongly encouraged outside as well, Peddler's Village said in its reopening announcement.
