COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Ponderosa Steakhouse on Coldwater’s east side which closed suddenly just over five months ago has new franchise owners.
It’s been posted on the business marque and on social media that Trienne Topp and Darren Clark are the new owners.
Those interested in applying for work at the restaurant located at 411 East Chicago Street can text MIPONDOJOBS to 242424.
No re-opening date has been announced yet.
The Ponderosa has been closed since March 29, 2019. At the time, patrons were greeted with locked doors and a sign that said, “To Our Valued Customers: We are sad to report that we have permanently closed this location. Thank you for your patronage through the years.”
Other Ponderosa locations across Michigan were shuttered after the close of business that night after the corporation which owned the restaurants ended the leases.
A spokesperson for the franchising company of the Coldwater Ponderosa Steakhouse says the closure was due to “matters with the local owner and landlord” and that the restaurants would reopen to the public as soon as those matters were resolved.
