According to The Modesto Bee, Redwood Cafe is closing its spot on Dale Road and planning to move the entire restaurant to River Islands at Lathrop, situated at 73 Stewart Road.
“Building a new building would not give this character,” Bob Campana, the eatery’s former owner, now partner, tells the Journal.
He continues, “So I sold the entire building and everything to River Islands for $1 under the pretext they would move the building and take the challenge to do it.”
“Right now the restaurant does weddings and banquets and it has the restaurant and bar — we’re going to keep that exact menu, the same staff,” shares the concept’s partner Susan Dell’osso, the Project Director at River Islands at Lathrop.
“I was not as heartbroken about closing the restaurant because I knew I could bring my staff and I could move everybody,” Campana said — “Building a team that can serve people and give people a vibe that is not a common experience is a very proud accomplishment that we’ve been able to achieve.”
Redwood Cafe is slated to reopen in the winter of 2025. Stay tuned for updates.
