The Green Derby restaurant is synonymous with Newport. Although it is now closed, brothers Dean and Shane Gosney, owners of HAL-PE Associates, could not let the 70-year restaurant’s history, in Newport’s colorful past, stay vacant. The brothers purchased the building and have big plans to bring the historic building and iconic restaurant back to life.
The renovations of the Green Derby are met with excitement. The brothers have grand plans. They claim not to be historic preservationists but their passion for their building and now the Green Derby is heartfelt as they talk about what the future holds.
“We are not restaurant people; we are building people. We bought that building because it is an iconic building,” says Dean. He says they intend to save the building and find the right proprietor.
