Le Clos has made another official statement on its Facebook page, retracting and deleting the previous post about their permanent closure and immediate firing of employees.
The owner, Katherine Ewing, says the restaurant is not closing permanently and is currently shut down for renovations, and will be open again in October. News that the beloved restaurant will not be permanently closed has brought much joy to long-time patrons.
From her statement, it is evident that someone had used the restaurant’s Facebook page to defame Le Clos, and Katherine is looking to handle them appropriately.
Katherine has since come forth and renounced the previous post with the following statement:
“This is Katherine Ewing, owner of Le Clos. Earlier posts notifying the community that Le Clos was closing permanently, as well as comments suggesting that I fired my entire staff without notice, were untrue. I do not take lightly the airing of personal or personnel matters publicly, which others have attempted to do in this forum. I have strived to make Le Clos a special part of this community; however, we are still a business which, like any other business, experiences internal and external challenges. I am confident that we will overcome our challenges and, once again, serve and thrive in this amazing community. We welcome our existing staff, and potential new family members, back as we reopen. While I prefer to address the misinformation that has been posted on this page privately, persons responsible for seeking to harm Le Clos will be handled appropriately. I’m so proud of the employees who have helped me and grateful for the community support. I look forward to inviting everyone to our reopening in the fall.”
