In 1981 the Sausalito Sweet Shoppe moved from its' home of 35+ years into it's current location in the old general store. We then became known as the Winship Restaurant. The name Winship is a family name. At that time a second floor was added and the building was made earthquake-safe. The new restaurant was designed to closely resemble the familiar Sweet Shoppe. There was an elaborate soda fountain along the back bar. And a teak and a marble counter with eleven seats. The marble had been acquired when the old Sand Francisco department store "The City of Paris" was torn down. Nautical artifacts, and many of the same staff were still here, making all the regular customers feel just as comfortable as they had been before. One staff person in particular was a popular local resident and longtime waitress Marian Stelling. Born and raised in Sausalito, Marian was widely known to be a permanent fixture at the "Sweet Shoppe." Her upbringing was very colorful, complete with experience as one of the select few girls who were hired by the Northwestern Pacific Railroad to be card dealers on the ferry boats from Sausalito to the City. Opening the restaurant and working six days a week for twenty-five years (by choice), she became a regular fixture. She retired in 1982 at the age of 82. Marian had a loyal following, and Bill was one of her biggest fans.
