We Weren't Done

  “Since we were only open for a year before the pandemic hit, it influenced us a lot, because all of a sudden, we had to constantly switch and problemsolve,” says Caroline Murphy, shown above left with Emma Campbell. “In the long run, it probably helped us, because we had to let go of these staunch ideas that we had, and just do what worked and what we enjoyed.”

• Today, Murphy and Campbell run Corner Peach, serving lunch and dinner, and The Corner Store, featuring a lunch counter with their legendary sourdough and other baked goods and a retail food and bottle shop.

• And to make it a hat-trick, the business partners opened DUKES earlier this year, serving breakfast and lunch in the space previously occupied by Alice.
