Dear Valued Friends, Employees, and Guests of Ben & Joys:

It is with humble gratitude and a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Ben &Joys Restaurant. This has been a very difficult and emotional decision and we are so sad to say goodbye. We will close our doors on Sunday, February 2nd.
We would like to thank our staff, past and present, for being such an integral part of our business and for helping us to provide so many wonderful experiences to our countless guests over the years. Restaurant work is not easy. It takes commitment, thick skin, and a really good sense of humor. Your efforts have never gone unnoticed, you have shown grace, warmth, and dedication. There are no words that clearly express the love and gratitude we feel for our staff that worked so hard to keep the vision alive. It is so rare to find such a committed, hardworking, talented, and friendly staff anywhere. We became a family. We are so very grateful for the love and tremendous efforts, you are all amazing.
Of course, we give immeasurable thanks to everyone who has dined with us, whether you've been dining with us for years or just now found us. We are grateful for your continued support and loyalty; you are the direct reason for our success as we are truly humbled and honored to have served you.
However, as much as we love Ben &Joys and seeing you walk through our doors, this is a bittersweet choice and a most difficult decision, to say the least.
What an incredible journey it has been!

Yours Sincerely and with so much love,
Ben & Joys
