Due to unforeseen circumstances the Hometown Cafe was not able to open on May 14, 2011 as originally announced.

A new Hood for the stove had to be ordered and other work is still in progress. The hood for the stove has arrived and has now been installed.

Boyd advises that he hopes to have the Cafe open soon and that he will send out a flyer and have a poster up as soon as he is ready to open.

In April 2011 the Village of Pangman sold the Cafe building. The new owners took over in May 2011.   At the present time they are doing renovations and hope to be open soon.

The new owners advise that the Hometown Cafe will be open:

• Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm
• Saturday from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm
• Sunday for Brunch from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm

The Hometown Cafe will be the home of Where’e the Beef 5lb Burger Challange.
