To our wonderful guests and community,
It is with great sadness that we announce this will be the last weekend Congdon's will be open until the coronvirus pandemic has subsided. It has become clear that despite the enhanced sanitation and safety practices we have implemented, every interaction with another person presents risk to our staff. We consider our staff part of our family and cannot bear the thought of something happening to them or their families. Right now, everyone is healthy. We want to keep it that way.
The last few weeks have been as inspiring as they have been frightening. More than 3,500 vehicles have visited our drive-thru during that time, often going 40 vehicles deep and lining up far down Route 1. Many waited 45 minutes or more. But the most amazing part was not the incredible level of support shown for our little family business―it was the love shown by members of our incredible community to their neighbors that left us in awe.
More than 150 toilet paper rolls were donated by our guests and distributed to those in need (beyond 300 of our own rolls). Approximately 100 homemade facemasks were dropped off at our drive-thru and sent to hospitals in need. Dozens of vehicles paid for the vehicle behind them in the queue. Several even dropped off snacks and meals for our hardworking crew.
Beyond that, we heard countless stories about people being kind to one another and spreading love. That is why we love this community. And it deeply saddens us that we will no longer be able to be a resource to the community.
We want to thank all of you who visited over the last few weeks or who wrote to us on social media to show support for what we were trying to do. And thank you to all of health care workers, first responders, pharmacy and grocery store works, and everyone who is keeping our communities functioning in these difficult times. But mostly thank you to our amazing staff - you're truly the best Maine has to offer.
We will remain open from Thursday to Sunday (6 a.m. to 2 p.m.) this week, so please come by if you can. When we open again is unclear, but we will be ready to go as soon as it is safe to do so. Congdon's After Dark food trucks park will also be up and ready to rock as soon as we can. Please continue to keep an eye on our social media and website, Congdons.com and CongdonsAfterDark.com, for further updates.
Please take care of yourself and your loved ones. And to the extent possible, take care of your neighbors. Even if it's just reaching out to check in. We're all in this together and will overcome. Be well.
Gary, Diane & FamilyUPDATE: Please see our statement below regarding future service.

Looking for your Hoss and Mary's fix? Now's a great time to grab some delicious grub while helping them help others! Check them out at The Farm Stand in Saco
From H&M: "ALL TIPS FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD, UNTIL THE END OF THE CRISIS will be collected and distributed to a family or families of Hoss and Mary Nation, to be decided privately with the input of you, the people. We’ll keep you updated on that situation. In addition to the tips, 100% of all proceeds from Mother Futcher’s Coffee cake will also be put into this fund."
Please see below and let us know if we can help -- or -- if you can help.We're glad so many of you appreciated (and found the humor in) this weekend's toilet paper promotion. While the promotion has ended, the reality is toilet paper supplies continue to be scarce everywhere, creating a potentially awful situation for our most vulnerable friends and neighbors. Therefore, we will continue to give away rolls to anyone who really needs it (up to 2 rolls). Please just go to the doughnut counter or the drive thru during normal business hours (Th-Sun, 6am to 2pm) and ask -- no purchase necessary, no questions asked.
The program is obviously contingent on our ability to access supplies ourselves. If you or your business would like to donate rolls, we will continue to distribute them to those who need it. In addition to our gratitude, anyone who makes a donation will also receive a free doughnut!
If you have any questions, please email adam@congdons.com.
Thank you in advance! With a little love, patience, and community spirit, we will all get through this together -- and maybe even come out better on the other side.
