Lakeside Dining Returning To Hess

Smuggler’s at North Shore announces the groundbreaking ceremony for their new building.  

Newaygo, MI – After much anticipation, Team Thompson is proud to announce the Groundbreaking  Ceremony of the building of our new restaurant, on Tuesday, September 27th, 2022, at 9am at the future  site of Smuggler’s at North Shore located at 864 E. 88th St, Newaygo MI 49337.  

The previous Smuggler’s Cove suffered a fire on 8/14/2018 which, unfortunately, led to its demolition in  2019. Team Thompson has been diligently working on the plans for a new lakeside restaurant since the  demolition. 
 
“Breaking ground on our future restaurant is exciting, after all the time and effort we’ve dedicated to  the design of this building,” said Team Thompson partner, Raeanne Huskey. "For the past three years,  we’ve spent time developing all our ideas for this lake restaurant. We dreamt of a design that would be  a phenomenal addition to our Hess/Brooks Lake Communities and for Newaygo County. This restaurant  will be a destination that will bring many newcomers to our beloved Newaygo.”  
​
The groundbreaking event will feature the owners of Team Thompson with shovels, provided by  CopperRock Construction, to officially kick off construction for the future home of Smuggler’s at North  Shore.
