Two Grand Junction Colorado Restaurants Taking a Short Hiatus

You've probably heard this a hundred times, but when you own a restaurant, you don't own it... it owns you. Operating a restaurant can be like working on a car's engine while it's running. With that, a couple of area restaurants are taking a little break.

Closing For a Well-Deserved Vacation

Las Marias Mexican Restaurant at 118 S. 7th Street in Grand Junction shared a message on Facebook yesterday, January 26, 2023. It read:

Las Marias will be closed Monday January 23rd - Monday February 6th for our annual, and much-needed, 2-week vacation. We will reopen Tuesday, February 7th at 7 am and are looking forward to seeing you all again then. - Las Marias via Facebook

How Many Hours Do Restaurant Managers Work Each Week?

If you know a restaurant owner or manager, you're probably already aware of the extraordinary hours they pull.

The website ecpi UNIVERSITY states, "While the chef will be responsible for the menu and overseeing the actual cooking and presentation, you will need to stay on top of what goes on in the restaurant at all times -- breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A food service manager usually works evenings, weekends, and holidays, and may devote anywhere from 40 to 70 hours a week to the job."

Both Restaurants Have Something In Common

Restaurants have customers. These two Grand Junction eateries have "fans." More than likely, you or someone you know is a particular fan of either of both of these local restaurants. Fortunately, it won't be long before both Las Marias and Spoons are open to the public again.
