The Cannery is a poem...a quality of light...a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream...(Steinbeck) Our historic building has been around long before The Salisbury family took it over, operating as a restaurant on the Rhine Canal. If it wasn't for local resident Jack Croul, who saw a dream in the building and its history, it would not be standing today. In the Fall of 1999, Jack purchased the property back from developers for three times it's asking price. Having no knowledge of restaurant management, Jack connected with Ron Salisbury through a friend. Mr. Croul quickly entrusted the ongoing success of The Cannery to Ron and assisted with the costs associated with restoring the building. Jack will always have a piece of our heart and we will always remember his passion.
