Thanksgiving weekend proved to be a positive
glimpse of what the future may hold for
the new Squires Café in South Glens Falls.
The cafe, located at 71 Saratoga Ave., was
the previous home of Maude’s Café. Now
under the management and ownership of
Jen Pereau and her fiancé Mike Squires, the
restaurant is bringing new life to the location
and is getting raves reviews on their
Facebook page.
Pereau said they strived to make the cafe
a family friendly atmosphere where people
can get home cooked classics, with some new
twists. She said Squires has worked in the
industry for years, with a lifelong dream of
being his own boss.
“Mike has been a chef for over 25 years and
has always wanted to own his own restaurant.
We seized the opportunity to open our place
where an existing restaurant had closed a few
months earlier. We’ve changed the decor and
menu,” said Pereau.
