Sad news, Roy's is a chickasha institution. Best BBQ sauce I've ever had!

This is happening all over. Old mom & Pop restaurants are closing because the owners want to retire, and no one wants to take over or purchase the business. It is sad. I would much rather eat at a local diner than some chain. Best of luck to the two of them, they deserve to kick back a notch.

Oh my gosh! I've eaten there, maybe 10 years ago. Excellent food!

This is sort of like the Model T Haven situation. When your in business for years and years there comes a time to to make a change. Whether you family members will want to take over the business or someone will buy it and take it over is the question.
Hope someone will keep up the tradition of good food but the owners probably want a little more time off and just want to relax and not be having to work until the very end. I say good luck to them and be happy! They have surely earned it.

Many restaurants die this way. Running a restaurant - whether upscale or not, is a lifestyle, not a job. It is the rule rather then the exception that the children of restaurant owners do not want to make the restaurant their life's work. In the Boston MA area Anthony's Pier Four and Newton's Pillar House both closed for that reason. They were two of the best restaurants that I have ever frequented. I remember 90 year-old Anthony Athenas standing outside the swinging door to Pier Four's kitchen checking every plate as it came out at 9 PM. He owned five restaurants that made him a fortune. His kids sold them all. The Lambert family owned the Pillar house that was on the National Register of historic buildings. Just the building was so valuable that when Massachusetts built the new version of Route 128 (which became a part of I-95 some years later) they built the cloverleaf at Rt 135 around it. The Pillar House was supposedly the only business located within a cloverleaf in the entire Interstate Highway system. After the restaurant closed, the building was disassembled and moved to Lincoln, MA as a private residence - it's original purpose. Perhaps too much information, but a possibly interesting piece of history.
