The Brown Hen, a polpular breakfast and\u00a0lunch spot located on the corner of College Avenue and Main Street in downtown Salem, closed its doors over the summer.<\/p>\n

In a post on the restaurant\u2019s Facebook page on Aug. 9, owner\u00a0Tom Sosnowski said a new building owner with an unwillingness to renew the restaurant\u2019s lease was the reason for the Brown Hen\u2019s closure.<\/p>\n

Sosnowski and his wife opened the Brown Hen\u00a0in December 2016 offering classic Southern breakfast and lunch fare with an emphasis on highlighting seasonal and local produce.<\/p>\n

Though it was in operation for a mere nine months, replacing what is\u00a0formerly Lucky\u2019s Pizza, the small operation had grown increasingly popular among Roanoke faculty and students.<\/p>\n

Junior Sabrina Utz described The Brown Hen as \u201cthe perfect place to get\u00a0breakfast before a 9:40 class.\u201d She called the closing \u201ctragic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sosnowski has assured concerned patrons that the Brown Hen will be\u00a0back, but there isn\u2019t a specific timeframe for reopening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
