"This has been in the works for many months," the post stated.

"After 48 years of continued service, Joe is hanging up his apron for a much deserved retirement. It is bittersweet, but all things have their beginning and end. We hope you will stop by for a final meal with us over the next few weeks. Stay tuned for information on how to share your memories with Joe, so he can reminisce while he is relaxing in his recliner."

Joe's first opened its doors in 1979.

"Joe wants to thank all of his loyal customers and friends over the years for their support," the post stated. "He remains grateful to the outstanding dedicated employees with whom he has head the privilege of working side-by-side for close to five decades."
