Important Announcement: Closure of Pappou’s Family Restaurant

Dear Valued Customers,

It is with mixed emotions that we announce the closure of our beloved family-run restaurant, effective May 12. After many years of serving our community with passion and dedication, we have made the difficult decision to retire and move on to the next chapter of our lives.

As we prepare to bid farewell, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support and loyalty over the past 42 years. Your patronage has meant the world to us, and it has been an honor to serve you.

We want to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to utilize any outstanding gift certificates they may have. Therefore, we kindly ask that all gift certificates be redeemed by May 12.

Additionally, we would love for you to stop by and share in this bittersweet moment with us. From now until our closing date, we invite you to visit us to say goodbye or offer your well wishes to George and the entire family. Your presence would truly make this transition easier for us.

Once again, thank you for being a part of our restaurant family. It has been a privilege to serve you, and we will cherish the memories we’ve created together.

Wishing you the best,
George & Family
Pappou’s Restaurant
