A venerable Burlington coffee shop returns under new ownership this week after shutting down last fall as COVID-19 cases continued to rise.
Muddy Waters, a staple at 184 Main St. for more than a quarter-century, reopens at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to Tierney Munger, who has worked at the coffee shop for about a decade. She and two partners who own the nearby business Manhattan Pizza and Pub, Sam Tolstoi and Matt Small, bought Muddy Waters from longtime owner Mark Mackillop. The sale was first reported by Seven Days.
Munger told the Burlington Free Press on Monday morning that she was “Mark’s right-hand person” at Muddy Waters. “I’ve been there for so long that I’ve just gotten really comfortable with our regulars and formed relationships with them,” she said.
