We enjoy our time at The Cottage when the weather is nice. The Business Journal reported Zangardi as being the owner of The Cottage, The Cabin and the Barrel in Mooresville so we are glad to learn that she is not currently affiliated with The Cottage
As the new owner of The Cabin, I appreciate your professional and accurate reporting. Other journalists have put “owner” and it’s directly affecting my business so thank you!
