| Gateway Lobster Pound | | 1133 Bar Harbor Rd. | | Trenton, ME 04605 | | Phone : 207-667-2620 | | As the son of a lobster fisherman, Richard Harding learned all he needed to know about lobsters through his father, who fished the waters of Frenchman's bay from the 1930's to the 1960's. Upon returning home from service during the Korean War, Richard married Joyce Ashe and started a full-service gas station in Ellsworth. In 1970, Dick and Joyce also decided to try their hand in the restaurant business. They bought some land and a small take-out stand in Trenton, Maine and started what would eventually become the Gateway Lobster Pound. For about the next half a decade, Dick managed the gas station while Joyce ran the take-out stand. In 1974, Joyce and Dick got rid of the small stand and built Gateway Lobster Pound, a full-service restaurant. Mainly due to the oil crisis of 1973, coupled with the declining popularity of full-service gas stations, Dick eventually sold the gas station and decided to join his wife at Gateway. | | SEND ENQUIRY VISIT WEBSITE ADD A REVIEW |
