For generations of families, this building was more than just a restaurant. For nearly 50 years, it was a place where birthdays were celebrated, families gathered, friends met, and countless memories were made. Many members of our community also had the opportunity to work there at some point in their lives, making it an especially meaningful part of our community’s history.
While the building may be gone, the memories made there will remain with the many families, employees, and community members who passed through its doors over the years.
The State Fire Marshal’s Office will officially list the cause of the fire as undetermined, as there were two potential accidental causes. Due to the damage, neither could be confirmed.
We are thankful to report that everyone was safe, and there were no firefighter or civilian injuries. We appreciate the dozens of spectators that gathered for allowing us space to work and the offers of food and drinks. We are grateful to our mutual and automatic aid partners that worked together to handle this unfortunate incident and protect our community.
