...Annndd We're Back!

Hi Loyal Customers and Curious Visitors! It's been a long time since our last blog post, and a lot has happened. We spent a year rebuilding the Milky Way after a devastating fire in 2011 - the community support and loyalty during that time was deeply humbling and gave us inspiration and strength. Thank you! We are so pleased to let you all know that we are fully operational, having reopened the bottling plant in November 2011 and now with the diner's reopen this month. It's been a wildly successful, whirlwind and busy month, and we're thankful for it! The new building has been able to add additional seating, updated amenities and energy efficient features, so please stop in and check it out. It's been great to see all of our returning patrons as well as some new faces. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

In Deep Gratitude,
The Milky Way
