For the safety of our employees and customers, I have made the decision to close Mangos effective immediately on 5/24/2019. On April 6th, The Jonesboro Police department made the decision to pull the off-duty employment of the Jonesboro Police Department (JPD) at Mangos and have not communicated to us the purpose behind that decision. I have written the below letter to gain clarity and have not heard any reply (below is a copy of my letter). As this is a huge safety risk we will not jeopardize the safety of this great community until we reach a resolution with JPD.
There is a lot of memories to be cherished! We started Mangos together and it grew to be the place most of you came to celebrate with family and friends. I am forever thankful to you for your support and business. I will keep you updated on what to come next.
A copy of the Letter sent to JPD
I am sending this letter in the hopes that you will reconsider your decision to pull the off-duty employment of the Jonesboro Police Department at Mangos on Friday and Saturday nights. I am worried that by pulling your officers from working at Mangos that the citizens of Jonesboro, as well as the employees of Mangos, will be at a greater risk of something terrible happening that could have been prevented by just the presence of your officers. The safety of Mangos customers is my top priority and I implore you to reconsider your decision until a final decision is made from the ABC.
