McCord said Lapin decided to sell it in December because of operational difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were losing more than we were making,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Millwood Junction has been in Mancos since the 1970s. It was built by the parents of previous owner JoAnn Riffel.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/the-journal.com\/articles\/154834-new-owner-for-millwood-junction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sale<\/a> to Lapin was finalized Sept. 30 after about a month of talks, McCord said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Riffel family would like to extend a sincere thank you to our patrons throughout the local communities of the Four Corners area,\u201d the family wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/the-journal.com\/articles\/156630-thank-you-from-millwood-junction-restaurant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter<\/a> published by The Journal Oct. 28. \u201cWithout your support during our 42 years in business, the Millwood would never have become the icon it was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The property was sold for $600,000, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/montezumacounty.org\/web\/assessor-property-inquiry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Montezuma County Assessor\u2019s Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mancos Administrator Heather Alvarez, the town gave the new owners a temporary liquor license valid until 11:59 p.m. Dec. 31 by transferring the existing license to the new owners. McCord said because they decided to sell the restaurant, they did not apply for a new liquor license.<\/p>\n<p>The new owners installed windows, improved the bathrooms and added cold prep tables to the kitchen, McCord said.<\/p>\n<p>They also replaced existing Millwood employees with staff members from the American Holiday Mesa Verde Inn, McCord said, citing conflicts with former employees.<\/p>\n<p>The new owners officially closed the restaurant Dec. 23, McCord said. Next week, they plan to advertise the restaurant\u2019s sale with an asking price of $950,000, he said.<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"mwc_shirttail\">This article will be updated as additional information becomes available. |<a href=\"mailto:ealvero@the-journal.com\">ealvero@the-journal.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>shut restaurant down a few months after purchase<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":90880,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[438,13,28,83,29,614,450],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-90879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-food","tag-frontpage-lead","tag-headlines","tag-mancos","tag-newsletter","tag-real-estate","tag-restaurant-and-catering"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90879\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90879"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=90879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
