Owners Glen Jodoin, Andrew Edgar and Michael Landgarten, the past owner of many Kittery restaurants, revived the neighborhood eatery and bar and have now handed this place close to Kittery's heart over to a new team of owners who just fell in love with the place. The good news is nothing will change - they love The Corner Pub just the way it is.

Michael Landgarten's sale of the Corner Pub marks his last business in Kittery. He discusses the change during an interview outside the pub Monday, July 18, 2022.

The deal marked the end of an era in local restaurant history. The Corner Pub was the last Kittery business Landgarten, who is credited with reviving the Foreside into a vibrant, thriving downtown, owned. Previously he owned Bob’s Clam Hut, Robert’s Maine Grill and Lil’s Cafe, in addition to formerly co-owning the 7 Wallingford Square building that houses Lil’s, Anju Noodle Bar, the Wallingford Dram and other businesses.
