Katie Ladd took over as owner about six months ago. She told BG Independent Media she began working at Kermit’s when she was 14 and when owners Jim and Barb Maas said they were ready to sell, she jumped the opportunity.
“I’ve always wanted my own business,” she told the website. “There’s no better place than this.”
According to BG Independent Media: “The restaurant has a storied past, starting out as the Wagon Wheel, then Crankers, before it became Kermit’s (named after a grandfather in the Maas family) 37 years ago. “
