After 25 wonderful years, the time has come for me to turn the page to a new chapter in life.
On May 19th, I will officially be retiring from Rudi’s Grill. It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for the incredible support this community has shown over the years. So many of you have walked through our doors not just as customers, but as friends who became like family. Thank you for every breakfast, every cup of coffee, every conversation, and every moment you shared with us.
To our amazing employees and co-workers, many of whom have been with me for years, and some who even worked alongside me all the way back at my parents’ restaurant, BJ’s, you have meant more to me than you will ever know. Your loyalty, friendship, and hard work helped make Rudi’s what it is today, and I will always be thankful for each of you.
While it will be difficult to say goodbye to something that has been such a big part of my life, I am excited to begin a new chapter. My husband Andy and I are looking forward to spending more time with our children and especially our grandchildren, and enjoying this next season of life together.
I am also happy to share that Rudi’s Grill will continue on under new ownership, and I look forward to introducing the new owner soon. I hope you will welcome them with the same kindness and support that you have shown me over the past 25 years.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has supported Rudi’s Grill. You will always hold a special place in my heart, and you will be deeply missed.
