The purchase of Lewis’ Restaurant by Edward Roach and Clifford Cashen was revealed this week.

Erected in 1939, the restaurant has been operated since that time by Arthur G. Lewis of Norwood. The transfer in ownership became effective at midnight Monday.

The restaurant firm will be known legally as Tiot Restaurant, Inc., but will continue operation under the established name of Lewis’ Restaurant.

Lewis stated this week that he intends to take a six-month vacation shortly and then enter some other line of business. He had words of commendation for his successors, whom he characterized as ‘young, ambitious and intelligent, and deserving of the support of the townspeople.’’

Roach and Cashen were for several years owners of Green Acres Restaurant, which they recently sold.

Cashen was recently discharged from the Navy.
