New London Finds Local Restauranteurs to Run City Pier Concession Stand

The stand will be run by a local restaurant owner and chef on weekends.

NEW LONDON, CT- The city has found a local restaurateur to run the City Pier concession stand, as reported by The Day.

The stand is city-backed and part of a pilot program on City Pier, according to The Day. Owner Candace and Chef Rachel Devendittis of Dev’s On Bank American Bistro served customers over the weekend, and are expected to run it on weekends through Labor Day.

The pair will assume the costs of food and beverages, as well as payroll, according to The Day. The stand comes in anticipation of a new water taxi service for Thames River Heritage Park and has been said to be something the city sorely needs.
