After careful consideration… It is with great sadness that I am announcing the closure of Johnny’z Hot Rod Cafe.
I’d like to thank all of our wonderful guests and crew for supporting us over these past years. What began as a little 24 seat burrito shop in a sleepy upstate Pennsylvania town called Wellsboro, grew into a place that had welcomed thousands of guests from far and wide, and employed many local people over the years. For an independent restaurant to survive 5 years these days is an accomplishment of which we can all be proud. This endeavor has been a labor of love, and while it has never been financially viable, I could not have done it for as long as we did without all of you. I am extremely humbled that so many embraced my little burrito shop.
We all mourn the loss of our favorite restaurants for they provide us with so much more than food. They provide nourishment for our soul and when they are gone, much of the soul of the neighborhoods in which they resided will be gone as well: missing out on seeing our favorite server who remembers what we like to eat, sitting at the table that makes us most comfortable, talking to the owner about life in general or seeing the hardworking support staff take extra care to provide us with a dropped napkin or fork replacement. All these small gestures that make us feel at home in our neighborhood will be missing. And that will make our neighborhoods feel lacking as well–less interesting, less familiar, less inviting. These are some of the things that define BEING AT HOME in our community. They are a gathering place to share accounts of our days, to celebrate big events in our lives or just share a table with our friends.
In closing, it is my hope that if you are reading this, you will invest in supporting the small independent businesses in the area, for they truly are… your neighbors and friends.
May God bless each and every one of you!
