Casuela’s closes unexpectedly

Regular customers of Casuela’s Grill in Ritzville were faced with an unwelcome surprise on Tuesday, Feb. 19, when the doors of the popular downtown restaurant were locked and a sign on the door indicated the restaurant had ceased its operation.

“We will remain closed indefinitely as of Tuesday, February 19, 2013.”

The sign posted on the window continued: “Dear valued customers: We regret to inform you that, despite our repeated attempts to avoid this, a recent series of unforeseen events have forced us to close our doors for an indefinite period of time.”
