Welcome Back

Kara and Gavin McMillian, the founders of the Ferndale diner The Fly Trap, have recently taken back ownership of their restaurant. In early 2022, The McMillians sold their diner to Matt Buskard, owner of local chain Bobcat Bonnie’s. In a heartfelt post on social media regarding the sale, Buskard wrote: “Over the last few years the dining world has changed and as we venture into this new territory, my focus has to be smaller and less divided. I am spreading myself so incredibly thin and it’s letting everyone around me — friends, family, customers, community and investors, down. I’m not able to be as connected as I would like to be in any of those relationships. You always think of yourself as that entrepreneur that has the capacity to take on an incredible amount- until you realize that you too are human and can only handle so much. With that being said, I could not think of a better set of folks to take over the Fly Trap- probably the ONLY people I think who could do it justice. So help me in welcoming back Kara and Gavin to their amazing creation — The Fly Trap.” 22950 Woodward Avenue, Ferndale. theflytrapferndale.com
