Sociale reopens under new ownership

Griff Wigley posted on May 15 2008 at 07:23

I blogged about Northfield’s Sociale a year ago when it opened. It closed in December but it reopened under new ownership a week or so ago.

I stopped by last night to visit with new owner, Jenni Welch. All the furnishings and displays are new. And they have curb-side pickup available. Our freezer is always stocked with their goods. Yum! See the Sociale Northfield web page for details on hours, etc.
