Owner of Casino's in Le Roy plans to close restaurant Feb. 20

By Howard B. Owens

Casino's has been a Le Roy staple since 1940.

That is the year the O'Geen brothers opened the restaurant.

Current owner, Mark Schildwester, who acquired the business six years ago, said the establishment will close its doors for the last time Feb. 20.

Schildwester said he's been trying to sell the restaurant, and one deal did fall through, but it's come time for him to let it go.

He'll keep the fixtures and equipment in place for a couple of months in case a buyer comes along, but after that he plans to hold an auction and then convert the space -- on Mill Street -- into office or retail space.

No more classic casino pasta w/ a meatball, covered in cheese? Boo!!

Why don't the folks that want to save the Wiss step up? Surely the Casino evokes just as many fond memories and they wouldn't need to be concerned with an impending roof collapse.
