02Sled Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Just heard on the news that the hosptality business is suffering big time. I guess it is all service business in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livewire Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Jakes has been for sale for a while,spoke to him a couple of weeks ago and he figured it would take some time to sell and he would be there until it sold. They have been closing at 3 pm and Roxies is open for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomo Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I like both Jake's and Roxie's. As I recall, Jake's has been for sale off and on for a few years now. Roxie's is also up for sale. $279,000.00 http://www.roxiesdinerportloring.com/sale/ I suppose folks running the restaurants want to cash in for retirement.

JJL Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I was gonna say the same as others have said. Jakes has been for sale forever it seems. just waiting on the right person to buy I guess. I was surprised by the closing at 3 though. you think with it being sled season, they would stay open to catch as many people as they can. we showed up at 3.45 on Saturday, unaware they closed at 3. they stayed open for us, which was great. deep fryer was running but grill wasn't, so selection was limited. would've probably spent more if it was actually running. oh well.

whits-end Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yes, Jake's and Roxie's have both been for sale for a long time. I understand the motel (Northland?) behind Roxie's is also for sale. Gotta wonder whether there's sufficient year-round business to service the debt or investment on buying one of these. That said, they are all great stops. The motel is great value, very clean, with a cool vintage vibe in the rooms; and comfortable with a new heating system. I don't know why more people don't use this as a stopover on a RAN tour, 'cuz everything's handy in Port Loring: Accommodations, Food, Gas, and LCBO. We did it a couple years ago and the only glitch was wanting to get an early start. Jake's doesn't open too early for breakfast. At dinner at Roxie's they offered to make breakfast sandwiches to nuke in our rooms. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
