I don't know anything special, or know of any official update, but I suspect that there are problems and I'm not so sure in my heart that they will reopen at all.
Just a gut feeling.
I just arrived at HH yesterday afternoon about 4:30pm for a long weekend stay, and as I passed by Kenny B's I looked over and saw no cars at all in front of the doors.
When I arrived at Grande Ocean I immediately googled the restaurant and saw two random posts that declared that they were closed permanently. Not sure if they have special knowledge or are just assuming that based on the doors being closed.
I will try my best to find out definitively, as I've been quite sad after even imagining that they will never reopen.
I do know that Kenny & wife Laverne are retired and moving to a lake near McCormick, SC which is an hour's drive from where we live.....
One of their sons lives in North Augusta, SC 25 minutes from us, working at a nearby nuclear power plant, and just across the Savannah River
which divides North Augusta SC from Augusta GA.
I'll try to contact them somehow and ask. We know them pretty well. Not sure how to find out, but ..........
