After 50 years in business, The Swinging Door in Richmond will close up shop on May 14 and customers are sad to see it go after so long.
"After 40-some-odd years of coming here, we’re going to miss the place terribly," said Gaynel Dunn.
The building grew from a 12-person capacity to 500. Generations of families have been coming ever since but not just for the amazing barbecue. Her husband James echoed the same sentiment adding, "Just standing in this line, we’ve been reminiscing with folks we’ve never met before. Everyone has a memory, everyone has a generational. This has meant so much to this community. It’s an amazing thing this family has been doing for us."
