PENROSE — A popular Penrose restaurant is closed because of a fire.
The Gooseberry Patch's kitchen went up in flames on Friday. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the fire destroyed some equipment that was more than 30-years-old.
The owners are waiting for insurance to kick in, but they say it probably won't cover food or employee's wages.
"I mean we have been part of this community for a long time and try to employ people with jobs and things and stuff, but I wasn't really aware that anyone noticed and it just seems like a lot of people noticed," said Barbara Martin, co-owner of The Gooseberry Patch.
A GoFundMe page has been set up for the restaurant. If you'd like to donate, click here.
The owners hope to have the restaurant back open some time next month.
