“Since August of 1990, we have served the Melbourne area their favorite wings,” the post read. “It is with great sadness that we will be closing our doors for the final time on Friday, May 31st.”
General Manager Dorie Powers has been working at the restaurant since it opened.
She said the owners of the family-run business decided it’s time to move on.
“Our lease is up and we thought it was time and all the family members have decided to retire,” Powers told FLORIDA TODAY, adding that she also will be retiring. “Thirty-four years is a long run.”
The restaurant is normally not open Mondays, but will be open May 20th and 27th to give customers an extra chance to come say goodbye.
“We are grateful for them,” Powers said. “We see a lot of the same people all the time and we want to thank them for their loyalty. We watch children grow up, couples get married and have children. These people are devastated. We had such loyal support.”
