Butte's Pekin Noodle Parlor closing after 115 years

2. And...

There are few good Chinese cuisine restaurants in Montana. The last town I lived in there has a good one, family owned since about 25 - 30 years ago. Ate there often. Then, a couple years ago, some venture capitalists swept through town buying up buildings, the one housing the Chinese Restaurant was one of them. Then the new owners suddenly gave the restaurant a 30 day vacate notice! They had been there since they opened and now some outsiders were taking our one Chinese restaurant from us. The 'city' residents fought back, the restaurant wasn't given a proper notice so they kept on for a couple more months but had to leave in the end. Fortunately there was a closed restaurant a block over and the building owners leased it to the Chinese family and they reopened after about six months.

They are having a similar concern with the door dash and takeout orders but people still go for dine in like my friends and I would do about once or twice a month.

Hope they don't close any time soon.
