Eyes on Enterprise: Clover Club in Mark owners to retire, business will have new ownership

Gena and Scott DeGroot announced they will be stepping away from the Clover Club, 105 E. Hennepin St., Mark, to spend more time with their family.

“We will always be grateful that we were part of the little bar with a big heart,” the family wrote on the Clover Club’s Facebook page.

The post did not indicate information about a successor, but a Facebook post Wednesday said the business will operate under new ownership.

The Putnam County restaurant, which opened in 1970, has changed ownership several times over the years and closed in the early 2000s before reopening in 2005. The DeGroots took the reins about eight years ago.
