COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A restaurant on Coldwater’s east side has closed up shop.
The last day of business for the Ponderosa Steakhouse located at 411 East Chicago St. was Friday, March 29. Visitors coming to the restaurant are now being greeted with locked doors and a sign that reads, “To Our Valued Customers: We are sad to report that we have permanently closed this location. Thank you for your patronage through the years.”
Unconfirmed reports have also been spotted on social media claiming that other Ponderosa locations across Michigan have been shuttered after the close of business Friday.
Ponderosa’s corporate website lists 62 restaurants across the country; in addition to Coldwater, other Michigan locations are Bay City, Cadillac, Clare, Dearborn Heights, Gaylord, Ludington, Mount Pleasant, Owosso, and West Branch.
We have contacted Ponderosa corporate for comment and will update this story online and on social media if we hear back.
