More Details In Rainbow Gardens Closure

MILFORD, CT — Popular downtown restaurant Rainbow Gardens is under contract to be sold by Sept. 6 to an undisclosed buyer after 30 years in business.

Co-owner John Profetto said that he believes the restaurant will be closed for renovations after the deal is finalized, according to the Milford Mirror.

Profetto and his wife and restaurant co-owner Heather bought the Broad Street location and opened Rainbow Gardens in 1996.

The Profettos won't retire and will pursue other opportunities in a less physically demanding business. They are attempting to find jobs for their 35 employees and find other venues to take over future bookings.

They announced on Facebook that their last day will be Saturday Aug. 24.

" So bring your gift cards and come out and wish us nothing but the best on our next great adventure," The Profettos said in a Facebook post. "We could not have done this without family. We did all of it always for our three boys whom we love to infinity and beyond."

They also thanked the restaurant staff and loyal customers they've had throughout the decades.
