Restaurant In Kennedy Rec Center Nearing Construction

The paperwork is about done, all the permits have been approved, and it is almost time for the to get a independently owned and operated restaurant on the second floor.

The restaurant will be called "Legends 1926 Bar & Grill" and the company that will run it will be Brown Schroeder & Co., Inc. Their Vice President of Sales and Client Relations Ron Marcissuk Jr. has been the go-to guy for the new diner and he said that he is hoping to be to work Friday.

"We got word today that everything should go through and be ready to go Friday," Marcissuk said. "We're excited about coming to Trenton and in a great venue."

Final blueprints were turned into the Trenton City Engineering Department late last week and City Adminstrator Bob Cady said after those are approved, it will be all systems go.

"I know that there is some demolition going on right now on the third floor," Cady said. "They are very eager to get going. We're excited, too. This will make the ice arena pretty unique."

Marcissuk said that he expects the restaurant's grand opening to take place on New Year's Day.

Marcissuk said that his company has plans to incorporate great food, a unique environment and entertainment to make Legends a hot spot for local dining. He also said the restaurant will plan to bring in athletes from time to time to attract more visitors and visibility.

"It'll be a nice place for parents to drop off kids for practice and then go upstairs and grab a burger or something to drink," Cady said.

The renovation project, which will include windows so guests can watch the action on the ice from the restaurant, will be something that Cady said could open the door to more expansion and business opportunities.

"It would be nice to eventually be able to host banquets and events like that," Cady said.
