Pegtown Station proprietors Mary and Dave MacDonald have listed their beloved mom-and-pop restaurant in Maple City. The MacDonalds, Maple City locals who have owned Pegtown for 18 years, tell the Leelanau Ticker that with the market booming it seems the right time to list the property. Even as they look to the next chapter of their lives, Mary says it’s important they find the right buyer, someone who will continue to service the community and take care of the local restaurant and its employees.

Pegtown is famed for its homemade breakfasts, pizzas and subs. Its name pays homage to the town’s original moniker, derived from founder William Parker and J.T. Sturtevant’s wooden shoe peg factory. The MacDonalds have listed the historic restaurant, built in 1935, for $799,500 (see listing here). The turnkey operation includes the 1,772 square foot restaurant with seating for 30 indoors and another 30 outside, all fixtures and equipment, as well as the building and real estate (.21 acres).
