Last month marked 10 years since my mother (Garnett) and I (Justin) bought the Coal Yard. Wow, time flies when you're having fun! We've weathered ups and downs including the recent pandemic. And while the world slowly returns to "normal", we've decided to take this opportunity to move on.
The Coal Yard will close permanently on Saturday, May 16th.
This decision has been on the horizon since we listed the restaurant for sale almost 3 years ago. We hoped to find a new owner to take the CY to the next level, but time has run out. Garnett is ready for full retirement and I need to focus on my day job at IMT. Besides our own personal needs, we believe we've taken this restaurant as far as our talents and time constraints will allow. The pandemic is a good opportunity to close, as most employees are already laid off and inventory is sold down.
The business is listed with our commercial realtor. We will not respond to sales inquiries in person, on Facebook, etc... you MUST contact The Tuttle Company at (803) 366-1158.
Heartfelt thanks to our two managers, Aerin and Sarah, for sticking by us and treating the CY like their own. You made our lives much easier! All our employees are like family to us. And to our customers, thank you for all the memories! We look forward to being customers again too!
