Cole's French Dip will stay open for 45 more days after initially planning to close due to community support. The restaurant, founded in 1908, faced closure due to challenges like rising costs and the pandemic. Following the announcement, customers flocked to visit. Various local organizations advocated for the restaurant, and officials expressed gratitude for the community’s heartfelt support, revealing how it opened their eyes to the possibility of change through collective action. Owners appreciate the opportunity to continue operating and keep their staff employed.
"This love and these rallying cries from the LA community have been so heartfelt during this difficult time -- it's not only extremely appreciated, but truly eye-opening that, with enough noise and enough fight, change can actually be made."
"Diners and imbibers have been visiting from all across Southern California to say their goodbyes, for which we couldn't be more grateful. Though it's likely not going to be forever, it is still a gift to keep the ovens on, the drinks flowing and our family of staff employed for a little bit longer."
