PLYMOUTH — The Polish Connection, a restaurant known for its authentic Polish cuisine, held its grand reopening on Sunday.
The restaurant, which incurred severe damage from a fire on Easter Sunday, April 20, held a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the occasion.
And the reopening comes just in time for the 21st Plymouth Alive Kielbasa Festival that runs Friday and Saturday.
After the temporary closure due to a fire at the location on April 20, the restaurant welcomed the community back with open arms and exciting new plans.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support of our community during this challenging time,” said Marie Ondish, the owner of The Polish Connection. “We were committed to rebuilding in Plymouth. Our priority is to continue serving our loyal customers and keeping the spirit of Polish hospitality alive.”
To celebrate this special occasion, The Polish Connection hosted random giveaways throughout the day, including exclusive Polish Connection T-shirts and the restaurant’s famous pierogi.
In addition to the grand reopening, The Polish Connection announced new hours for August. The restaurant will now be open 7 days a week, making it even easier for customers to enjoy their favorite Polish dishes.
“We improved our look and we’re planning 0n being here for a long time,” Ondish said. “If demand stays good, we will stay open 7 days a week — if not we’ll adjust.”
Founded in 2017, The Polish Connection has become a staple in Plymouth for homemade pierogi and traditional Polish fare.
After overcoming adversity, Ondish said the restaurant looks forward to serving the community once again with warmth and delicious food.
Several families were displaced following an evening fire Easter Sunday that tore through an apartment building in Plymouth.
The fire began around 7 p.m. in a shed on East Main Street and quickly spread to apartments above where Polish Connection and Reds Subs are located.
At least four apartments suffered extensive smoke and water damage. No injuries were reported.
