After working for another cafe for 18 years, Janna Churchill-Fortin decided to take a leap of faith and go out on her own when a property became available and Janna’s Gallery Cafe was born. Four years later, another opportunity popped up and she decided decided to jump in with both feet to open Kerry’s Place with her former spouse Kerry. After six years of running Janna’s Galley Cafe two years at Kerry’s, they merged the businesses together and opened Janna & Kerry’s, Over Easy Bar and Grill.
Janna is a pivotal member of the downtown community, serving as a longtime Board member, and business owner. Janna talks about how the restaurant has changed throughout the years, especially with the effects of the pandemic, a partnership change, and how her Pembroke, along with others downtown Pembroke, has grown and evolved since opening her first business.
