Perkins on Military Road to close this Sunday
If you’ve been a fan of the chain Perkins, you better get in a last meal sometime this week.
The two remaining Perkins locations in Western New York will close for good this Sunday.
The franchisor has terminated the license agreements, meaning about 80 people will be out of a job.
That includes the Perkins on Military Road in Niagara Falls, across from the Outlet Mall, and the one on Transit in Amherst.
Wilson’s Pfeiffer Foods plant purchased
The Pfeiffer Foods plant in Wilson has a new owner, but village officials aren’t sure what that means for the facility.
Lawta Properties has purchased the Lake Street plant, which was village’s largest employer when it shut down three years ago.
The plant cost a little more than $400,000, but officials say the group that purchased it has not yet applied for any building permits.
Officials at Pfeiffer, a division of Columbus, Ohio-based T. Marzetti Co., closed the plant back in November of 2009.
Former Buffalo restaurant owner Samuel Pfeiffer opened the plant in the 1950s to produce salad dressings he had developed. Lancaster Colony Corp., T. Marzetti’s parent company, acquired Pfeiffer Foods in 1983.
