CADDO VALLEY — A staple Clark County eatery that had been closed for four months will open its doors to the general public on Thursday, April 14.

In an emotional speech Wednesday during a ribbon cutting ceremony, Jenifer Spears doted on the community’s support for her family following the death of Ronnie O’Keefe, saying it was the reason behind her return to Arkansas.

With much of the same staff returning, the restaurant will resume its original schedule and menu offerings on Thursday during a soft opening. Spears said the restaurant should be in full swing by Sunday, just in time for Easter.
