The Owners

Kenny Lumpkin

A Western Mass native, Kenny and his three sisters were raised by his mother Pamela in Springfield and Easthampton. Kenny graduated from Emmanuel College in Boston with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management, and is also the owner of New Foundations Realty Group where he offers support to property owners facing financial distress.

Kenny started in the restaurant industry over 10 years ago working at several high end Boston restaurants as a busser, bar back, server, and bartender. His love for jazz music and creating genuine connections with people is what motivated him to open Dewey’s. Kenny intends to not only develop a space where people can thrive socially, but also where he can create for the community that helped shape him.

When he’s not working, you can find Kenny spending time with his family, traveling, or being active on the social justice front.
