MACKINAW Considering COVID-19 and other problems, it s been a rough few years for Haynes on Main.
Sometime early Saturday, things got a bit rougher. An overnight burglary forced the popular Mackinaw restaurant and bar to be closed Saturday, the owner said.
Someone entered the restaurant at 108 S. Main St. after a busy Friday night and after employees left about midnight, co-owner Carol Haynes told the Journal Star. Based on security information, the burglary probably occurred about 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
The thieves absconded with the restaurant s computer equipment, Haynes said. That included laptops and point-of-sale gear used to process credit and debit cards.
