Walk in, and the first thing you’ll now see is a charred sign . Dell Hoard Jr. says it’s a reminder of what happened about a year ago.
“We’re gonna keep it like this,” he said. “It tells a story, and we want everyone to know it’s part of Grumpy’s now.”In January 2022, the restaurant went up in flames. Investigators believe a fire broke out in the kitchen.Hoard Jr. said that, naturally, the fire took an emotional toll. “I mean, I couldn’t talk to anybody at the time,” he said. “It was hard. Our family, we put a lot into this, and I remember getting the call, I had just gotten home from eating here beside the place.”Hoard Jr. says they’ve been motivated by their loyal customers.
“It’s been so comforting to know we have so many people around here who care about Grumpy’s,” Hoard Jr. said. “We were only here for 15 months, but we were able to come in and form that relationship that we could really see.”Nearly a year later, crews are putting the final touches together before the doors reopen.
“Tough times happen. And you can see what comes from it afterwards,” Hoard Jr. said. “You’ve just got to work hard and you’ll get back to where you were.”
