OWNERSHIP. IT WAS A SURPRISE WHEN THIS KINGS RESTAURANT CLOSED TWO WEEKS AGO. NEIGHBORS SAY THERE WAS NO NOTICE, JUST A SIGN ON THE DOOR. AND IT WAS A POPULAR SPOT. NOW THEY’RE HAPPY TO SEE A NEW BUSINESS STEPPING IN SO QUICKLY. DAVID MEISTER WAS PLENTY FAMILIAR WITH THIS KINGS RESTAURANT IN ALLEGHENY TOWNSHIP. ONCE OR TWICE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS, I COME IN FOR BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING. BUT TWO WEEKS AGO, NEIGHBORS FOUND A SIGN ON THE DOOR SAYING THIS KINGS HAD CLOSED FOR GOOD. YEAH, THERE’S NO WARNING ON WHAT’S CALLED SHAME. SO, YOU KNOW, WE’RE RUNNING INTO SOME TROUBLE GETTING SOME MONEY OR SOMETHING. SO IT’S NICE TO HAVE THIS RIGHT UP THE ROAD TO GO TO THE SPACE. WON’T STAY EMPTY FOR LONG, THOUGH. VALLEY DAIRY RESTAURANT. AND NOW THINK THEY’LL BE MOVING IN. THE LOCAL CHAIN BASED IN LA TROBE EXPANDING AGAIN, HOPING TO HIRE 50 PEOPLE FOR THE LOCATION. WHEN NEWS OF THE KINGS CLOSING SPREAD, NEIGHBORS TELL US THEY WEREN’T SURE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE SPACE OR IF ANYONE KNEW WOULD CLAIM IT. NOW THEY’RE GLAD TO SEE ANOTHER OPTION FOR FOLKS IN THIS AREA. THIS IS USUALLY THE SAME ONES FOR ABOUT 20 MILE RADIUS HERE. THAT’S A STORY REPEATS ITSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THERE ISN’T MUCH IN THIS VALLEY ANYMORE. SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING’S BEEN CLOSED UP, AND IT’S NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE COME BACK IN HERE. NOW, VALLEY DAIRY HAS NOT POSTED AN OPENING DATE YET, BUT THEY ARE HIRING. WE’VE POSTED A LINK TO THAT AT WTAE. YUKON REPORTING
