You can’t buy a meal at the Inn at Duck Creek in Smyrna anymore.
It shut its doors on Tuesday.
But Delaware State News reports that town officials are hoping this will only be a temporary condition for the restaurant which is seen as a key to revitalization of the downtown area.
WBOC reports that the owner of the property is looking for someone else to occupy the space.
A $300-thousand grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the town of Smyrna helped restaurant get off the ground just before the beginning of this year.
Some of that money went to restore the historic Phillips
Building on Main and Commerce streets.
The Smyrna Town Manager Dave Hugg told the Delaware State News that despite efforts to get through the summer the restaurant just couldn’t make it.
