The Berkshires Eagle reports, the business has been operating on reduced hours with a smaller menu after putting the building and business on the market, while continuing to offer breakfast all day made with fresh, local ingredients. It is unknown what's in store for the business when new owners takeover as its sale is tentatively set to close on Dec. 15th with a listing price on William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty of $279,000.
