Busy Bee Cafe comes back with big buzz
BOB WILLIAMS / THE CHRONICLE. Meg Holiday, new owner of Busy Bee Cafe in Springfield, serves up a complete breakfast of country fried steak, hash browns, and toast.
SPRINGFIELD – After a temporary hiatus, the Busy Bee Cafe has once again been restitched into the fabric of the Springfield business community.
The cafe reopened on Easter weekend after eight months of being closed. The classic diner, located at 2152 Main St., was bought by Meg Holiday, a serial restaurant owner in Lane County.
Betty Boyd owned Busy Bee for 17 years before retiring last year, and was inspired by Holiday’s passion for keeping the Busy Bee’s doors open.
“We were lucky enough that Betty picked us because there were a couple other bids in,” Holiday said. “She picked us because we wanted to keep it as ‘Busy Bee’…. I knew what this name meant to people and we knew they had a big community.”
