Well everyone, the time has come for a few things. For months now, rumors have been flying about The Ground Round. Is it closing, it’s moving, the owners retiring, Boudreauxs is moving there. I’m sure there’s others I haven’t even heard. Yes, I am retiring at the end of this year, 2022. I started my career, at Ground Round, on January 12,1977, as a hostess, & student at MWSU. I had never worked at a restaurant & little did I know that I would never leave that “Good Time Meeting Place”for 46 years. It’s where I met the love of my life, Craig. Both of our kids, Casey & Maddi literally grew up there. Oh the people I have worked with, the stories, the antics, the personalities. You all have been the reason for the continued success of our St. Jo Gr Rd! You were part of the reason our guests came, some every day! And to our guests- Everyone of you has a story. You made our Gr Rd, your Gr Rd- your Cheers. No matter when, you could always walk-in & see a familiar face. The relationships, many which are a forever bond, we’re made at that Belt & Frederick corner.Man o man, the memories we all have. So, what’s to happen? Deanna Marriott has bought the building & will be re-branding the restaurant/bar. Craig & I wish her the best with her endeavors. She’s had success with her other business ventures & no doubt that will be continued at 6th & Edmond. Don’t be sad. We’ve had a great run, made tons of friends & contributed to this community. So. This is Last Call Y’all! ❤️🖖
