New owners, same great place
12 Apr 2017
ELMWOOD—The sign may say Big Dick's outside, but there's a new bar and grill in Elmwood.
On Nov. 15, Josh and Steph Kern purchased Big Dick's Bar and Grill on Main Street in Elmwood. The Kerns had to wait only one day, then could get to work.
The couple had been wanting to own their own restaurant for around a year and decided that being their own bosses sounded like a good idea.
Josh still works for the Village of Elmwood and does maintenance at the restaurant, while Steph handles the day-to-day operations.
