After that, the owners "would like to maintain their catering operations on-site through June 25, because they have events already planned," Powell told the liquor board at its May 25 meeting.
The restaurant did alert its followers that "we plan to reopen on a different site as soon as possible," in a Facebook message on May 17.

Unanimously, the board voted to provide 510 Johnny's with the relief it was seeking.
