Local Tony Roma’s closed

Oct 23, 2019 | 10:44 AM

Tony Roma’s in Grande Prairie has closed.

An employee at the restaurant told Everything GP they received the news Tuesday they would be out of a job that same day.

“Management found out at 11:45 a.m. and immediately started calling all staff to have a conversation one on one to let us know what was happening,” Darian LaValley, a waitress at Tony Roma’s said.

“We are thankful that our head manager did everything in her power to make it easier on all of us.”

LaValley says the employees were informed they would be receiving severance pay.

The local closing comes within weeks of five Tony Roma’s restaurants closing in the Edmonton area.
