Woods Bay Grill holds writing contest to find new owner
KALISPELL, Mont. – The owners of Woods Bay Grill in the Flathead Valley weren’t having any luck selling their property traditionally, so they created an essay contest to find the next owner.
Bacon’s been sizzling at the Woods Bay Grill for 13 years now.
“It’s kind of like your own version of cheers but without the alcohol,” said Woods Bay Grill co-owner Leslie Browning. “People walk in the door and they are like ‘hey, how you doing Pat. How’s it going today?’”
Browning is just one of three owners of the grill. They all decided they are ready to retire, but they want the grill to still be there for the community.
