Corning Moose acquires long-vacant Denny's site on Victory Highway
Corning Moose Lodge 274 has purchased the long-empty Denny’s Restaurant property on Victory Highway in Painted Post, with big plans to begin a new exciting chapter. Renovations at the old Denny’s site, which closed during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, are underway, said Corning Moose Lodge members.
