Hearne on the Street: Corner Restaurant Westport Up for Grabs

Thirty years is a long time to survive in biz…

That said  living to tell the story through the past two year’s economy and the last six weeks revenue-killing weather was more than Westport’s Corner Restaurant could handle.

Lack of attention to detail may have played a role in the Corner’s demise as well…

Case in point; Pitch foodie Charles Ferruzza says he hasn’t eaten there in 10 years.

KC Confidential food writer Jennifer Janesko’s take on the Corner’s passing is equally glum.

“I’ve actually never been there,” Janesko says. “”It just looked too sketchy for me.”

Now a bit of good news.

The Corner could be salvageable, says real estate agent Vince Vitale.

“It’s for lease,” Vitale says. “The owner closed it up the first of February – he kind of up and left us. So we’ve got it for lease and we’d love to have another breakfast and lunch place in there. I think it would do real good if you ran it right.”

As for keeping and restoring the Corner name, “I just talked about thattoday,” Vitale says. “And it’s my understanding they can.”

All the 3,900 square feet space needs is some TLC and a tuneup and it’s ready to go, Vitale says. Catch him at 816 753-4440.
