(La Porte County, IN) - A well-known restaurant in the Michigan City area is closing, as Hammer’s will serve their last customers on March 30th after opening 24 years ago on U.S. 20 at Johnson Road close to the entrance of Trail Creek. 

In a Facebook post, the owners, Kenny and Sherri Larson, said they were going to stay open through summer, but decided “it just isn’t feasible at this point.”

They cited a drop in business since the pandemic and the desire to retire for it not being worth it to remain open. 

“Please come in and see us this month and support the crew that has stuck by our side during these trying times.  We look forward to seeing you and sharing one last toast,” the Larsons said in their post.
