PIERRE, (KCCR) — A staple eatery of Pierre is being forced to move. Gator’s Pizza at Northridge Plaza will be closing at the mall in mid-October according to owner Bruce Kessler…
Kessler says Gator’s beginning dates back to the original Godfather’s Pizza location when the mall opened in 1981…
Kessler started as an employee at Gator’s in 1989 before buying the pie shop in 2010. Kessler says Gator’s is more than a pizza store to him…
Kessler says he appreciates the communities support but setting up again at a different location won’t be easy…
Northridge Plaza says they have a great relationship with Gator’s and that Gator’s leaving the Plaza is sad. Management indicated they had conversations about trying to keep Gator’s in the mall. An announcement about what new business will fill the Gator’s and Pierre Music space is expected in the next two to three months.
