Shut down: Bill's Elbow South has closed for business


Zachary Warrner - Posted on 25 September 2008

The hits just keep on coming. Earlier this week we spotted the Oviedo Hollywood Tans with "CLOSED FOR BUSINESS" signs on its doors.

Now, one of Oviedo's long-time restaurants has closed for business. Bill's Elbow South closed its doors on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 21 for the last time -- management has no plans to re-open.

According to the Chronicle:

The restaurant, a meeting place in Oviedo for 16 years, was open for the last time on Sunday, and employees were informed of its closing on Monday morning.

The closing came as a shock to many after rumors suggested over the summer that Bill's was just moving to a smaller location.

"A few months ago we were definitely trying to change locations," said Glema Wakefield, one of Bill's' managers. "The location we were at at the mall, not only was it not a really a fabulous location, we were trying to downsize actually and get into a smaller space."

But the deal the ownership had to move into that smaller space fell through, and the restaurant just couldn't make any money.

"We decided to go ahead and stay where we were, but due to the economy and everything else, it just wasn't working," Wakefield said.

The owners made the decision to close the restaurant on Tuesday, Sept. 16, but employees were notified the same day that patrons were: when the doors didn't open the next Monday.

According to the restaurant's website, all remaining food from Bill's Elbow South has been donated to the Hope foundation, a local organization whose outreach includes the Sunshine Food Pantry and Thrift Store.

Another local business shutting down...this is more of a loss for Oviedo Marketplace than Dillards, in my opinion.

What a bummer. They had the best burger in town!

That't too bad. They had the best chicken salad!

They hung in there for a long time. I'd heard rumors of this for about 2 years.

God, I simply loved that place! Too bad to learn of this.

Why dont we all contact the local papers and ask why the City Council with Dominics smoke and mirrows has such a high tax rate on business. Also ask how much you personally pay on franshise taxes to the City of Oviedo when you pay your cell phone bill or buy gas at the local pumps and your water bill. Does the list go on................????????????????
