Summary
The Circle M bar and restaurant reopened on June 15, 2012, at the former Old Rectory site. The operator announced dinner and bar-food service seven days a week, and contemporaneous forum replies report that patrons attended the opening weekend.
Evidence limits
The forum establishes the announced opening and early patron responses. A participant’s recollection of the site’s earlier Circle M history is retained as context only; this record does not establish uninterrupted ownership or institutional continuity.
