HARRISONBURG, VA (Rocktown Now) — The Village Inn in Harrisonburg is about to come under new ownership.

After 40 years as co-owner, manager, and self-described “jack of all trades” at the Inn, Kevin Early announced his retirement on social media yesterday, along with news that he would be passing the baton to, so far, undisclosed new owners.

Early says he has been honored to contribute to the legacy of the business his grandfather began in 1936 and is thankful for the friendship and support of loyal customers he has met along the way.

The post ends with a promise that the new owners will provide the same hospitality and unique countryside experience Village Inn customers have always known.

Early tells WSVA news the sale is scheduled to be finalized Friday.
