“After 43 years at the Riverton, we are happy to announce our retirement,” the post says.
“We have been truly blessed with the opportunity to serve our guests, many of whom have become like family to us.”
The business’s last day open will be Monday, Aug. 29, the post says.
“You have trusted us with your special occasions, family dinners and celebrations. Our family cannot thank you all enough!”
The post was flooded with comments from longtime customers wishing the family a happy and healthy retirement.

“Wishing you a very happy, blessed retirement with the rest you deserve after working so hard all of these years!”
