Pine River Cheese closed in September, 2019, but now a partnership between Lucknow Co-operative and TG Group is bringing it back.
The co-op has bought the property and TG Group will run it as a food service and production company.
“The plant will make past favourite cheese products, as well as new cheese offerings. And planning is under way to renovate the store and incorporate eat-in, catering and take-out options, and open an eatery, deli, pizzeria and gelato bar called ‘Pine River Cheese Mercato and Pizzeria’, the TG Group said.
“Pine River Cheese is currently hiring and anticipates being open for the summer season.”
A fire in 2009 closed the cheese factory for more than a year, impacting the company’s standing in the market, and it never fully recovered. The directors decided to throw in the towel in 2019.
