Three local entrepreneurs take over the business

Three local entrepreneurs, who were so familiar with the place that they had become friends with the late owner, couldn't bring themselves to see this landmark of Aindenne gastronomy disappear.
Bruno Pellegrini, Daniel Zarlenga and Hervé Vion-Delphin decided to join forces to take over the business. The initials of their first names in alphabetical order, BDH, gave its name to the holding company that took over the property part of the business. The name of the business remains the same: SAS L'Embarcadère.
