Chris’ partner, Penny Kernick, who also cooked at Chris’s and will retire as well, said Chris’ “greatest wish [was] that [the restaurant] will continue under someone else’s inspiration and energy.”

For now, the successful business will continue to trade as normal heading into the busy summer season.

Century 21, Point Cook listing agent Warren Hulstaert has set a $4 million to $4.4 million price guide on the property.
