Sale of Fall River’s Mee Sum is final; while its currently business as usual, opening date for new ownership set
A Fall River landmark that was put up for sale earlier this year has official been sold.
The iconic Mee Sum, the Chinese American restaurant open for over 74 years serving the Southcoast and beyond with exceptional Chinese cuisine was put up for sale in April and had a most recent asking price of $449,000.
Regina and Kenny Mark are retiring after serving more chow mein sandwiches than can be counted.
Regina Mark told Fall River Reporter that the exact date new ownership will take over will be January 20th, 2025, and the last day her and her husband will run the restaurant is New Year’s Eve.
Regina stated that the new ownership wants to remain secret until the re-opening, but previously said that they are established in the area, and she thinks they will be able to do well.
Regina previously reflected on putting the business on the market.
“It is very hard to let go of the work we love to do, and we thank all the people all these years who’ve been supporting our business, we hope that we find the perfect people to take over our business and continue Mee Sums tradition. Meanwhile we are still serving the community and remain the same until further notice, Thank you.”
The restaurant, located at 1819 South Main Street, has been popular among Fall Riverites and nationally.
In 2018, Thrillist ranked Mee Sum one of the top 25 Chinese restaurants in America.
