It was like a family reunion for the community of Leiper’s Fork when the doors opened Sunday afternoon to The Country Boy restaurant’s invitation-only, soft opening and sign unveiling hosted by new owners Tom Fanning and Diana Torres.
“I’m so happy this has reopened,” said Connie Westfall, a longtime regular customer of the Country Boy prior to its closing on Sept. 14, 2014. “It’s so clear and light in here again. I’m just so glad to be here.”
Rose Darnall was also present that last day when the restaurant closed. It was a sad day for the community, she said.
“The day the community heard it was coming back, it lifted something,” she added. “It seems it has brought the community family back together again.”
