Medart's: Macaroon Cake

Bill and Blossom Medart opened a hamburger stand at 7036 Clayton Road on October 9, 1930. By 1949 they had expanded by adding the Olde Cheshire, the Great Hall and the Rose and Crown. In 1960, Medart's was sold to a corporation headed by Stephen J. Apted, vice president of Hulling's Cafeterias, and reopened under the name Cheshire Inn.
