The owners of the fire-damaged Sassafras Diner and Family Restaurant in Huntington are finally making progress in their efforts to rebuild, Shelton Patch reported Monday.
The fire was in late June.
From Shelton Patch:
“They finally released the restaurant to us. All this time we weren’t allowed in there. It’s been so long and the reason is there are so many people involved because of the other stores. Each have their own internal insurance companies and all have to be present at same time. If we were on Bridgeport Avenue in a building by ourselves we’d probably be rebuilt by now,” said Denise Poniros Dykes, who has worked at the diner for more than 10 years. Her brother Chris and their mother are co-owners.
The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
