MICHIGAMME -- New owners are looking to bring new life to two closed Michigamme businesses.
The Michigamme Market reopened to customers last Thursday after being shutdown since November.
Marti Querfeld, who ran the business from 1992 to 2005, regained ownership of the business through foreclosure.
And the Moose Cafe will open early next month under new owners, William and Cathy Schooler, and a new name, the Hometown Cafe.
For the market, reaction has been positive.
"The response has been fabulous," said Querfeld. "People are so happy to have the store open and had a fabulous weekend, and I hope it continues."
Both businesses understand the tough economic climate, but believe through summer tourism and quality and service, they'll be able to survive.
