A grown-up’s community playground is getting close to popping up in a corner of Kennett Square desperate for revival. Many months in the making, The Creamery will soon bring evening music and entertainment to a 3-acre former cannery and creamery with its unique new seasonal European-style pop-up beer garden.

More playground than bar, the coming destination is the dream of Kennett Square’s Michael Bontrager and the capital of investors like Joe and Sandra Mulry, with help from Philly food and marketing partners, along with a rotation of guest food trucks, according to an update on Philly.com by Michael Klein.

“This will have a distinct flavor to it,” Joe Mulry said in initial Daily Local News coverage of The Creamery by Fran Maye last December. “Kennett definitely has this distinct micro beer culture going on, and we’re capitalizing on something that is already happening.”

The Creamery’s transformation from a 12-year blight to a potential hot spot is expected to finish in late May.

“It’s a huge project,” Mulry said. “The capital required to get this thing into something other than a derelict beast is considerable.”
