Purchase By Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company
In October 2007, local newspapers confirmed rumored reports that Lucy's Cafe had been sold. The purchase was made by Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company (also known as HERCO). Coincidentally, Lucy's Cafe had formerly sold meatballs to the GIANT Center, home arena of the Hershey Bears (an AHL team owned by HERCO), for sale at the team's games. The restaurant's final day of business was December 31, 2007.
On January 21, 2008, a fire damaged much of the building that was once Lucy's Cafe. The cause of the fire has not officially been determined, but plans for the sale to HERCO have not been deterred.

Famous quotes containing the words purchase and/or company:
“Riches are valuable at all times, and to all men; because they always purchase pleasures, such as men are accustomed to, and desire: Nor can any thing restrain or regulate the love of money, but a sense of honour and virtue; which, if it be not nearly equal at all times, will naturally abound most in ages of knowledge and refinement.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“We’re too unseparate. And going home
From company means coming to our senses.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
