Lee’s Restaurant in Rivers has been sold. Wen and Wendy Chen bought it in February 1992 from Peter and Yi Lam. While they are not yet ready to officially retire, as astute business people they knew they should accept the opportunity when it came, for if they waited another 10 or more years when they did want to retire, a buyer might not be found. And so, on April 1 the sale was official.
