Earlier this year, the owners confirmed that they were indeed approached by a cannabis dispensary and that they were going through approval with the township. From the sound of their Facebook post in June, it looked as though the eventual closing of the restaurant was imminent:

It's been confirmed that several patrons and insiders who have gotten word from the staff that the restaurant will sadly be closing at the end of December. From the looks of it, the owners will be retiring and selling the restaurant to a cannabis dispensary afterall.
