Knockout Melts

03/03/2025

Dear friends and valued customers,

It is with mixed emotions that we announce the closure of Knockout Melts and Rock Salad. It's been an amazing ride, and we’ll miss serving you all! We want to thank each and every one of you for your loyalty and support over the years. You’ve made this place something special, and we won’t forget it.

While this chapter is closing, we are forever grateful for the memories and connections we've made. We hope to see you again in the future!

With love,
Teri and Kathy
