A lifelong dream has come true for two local women. In June 2018 Elizabeth Wabnitz and her daughter Kelly Stahler completed the purchase of The Corwin Peddler located in Corwin, Ohio. It was a dream of theirs to one day open their own restaurant. Elizabeth, a retired nurse, and Kelly, who worked in the food industry for over 10 years, spent years searching for the perfect restaurant opportunity. They visited numerous properties, but The Corwin Peddler had the right amount of charm and opportunity. The pair were determined to offer the right food, at the right price, with the right atmosphere.
They spent the entire summer of 2018 cleaning the property, painting, and making several updates to the building. In October they were ready to open. The weather, however, turned quickly and by the end of the month, the restaurant was once again closed until the spring brought warmer weather. As of April 7th, 2019, The Corwin Peddler is once again open.
The quaint restaurant features indoor as well as outdoor seating. The covered patio is perfect to sit and enjoy a break from the sun. The outdoor picnic tables provide ample seating for families. The Corwin Peddler went back to its roots and serves ice cream. The soft serve frozen treat is a creamy delicious staple of summer. On the menu are several sandwiches, burgers (angus beef as well as the vegan Impossible Burger), salads, a kids menu, and drinks. The owners pride themselves on having fresh, locally sourced food. A fan favorite is already emerging! The Rachel sandwich is crafted with sliced turkey, Swiss cheese and chipotle mayonnaise topped with creamy coleslaw piled on sourdough bread and toasted. Fans of ice cream can find endless topping combinations! The Corwin Peddler offers a wide array of toppings from the standard rainbow sprinkles to the delicious crushed Oreos and sauces such as peanut butter, hot fudge, marshmallow, and more!
Check out the Corwin Peddler at 69 Maple St. Corwin, Ohio 45068 located right on the Little Miami Bike Trail. It’s open Tuesday-Sunday 10am-5pm but will be extending hours in the summer. You can follow them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/thecorwinpeddler.
