It’s going to remain business as usual at Pennydale Junction in Battleford.

BATTLEFORD - The previously announced change of ownership of Pennydale Junction is not going ahead after all.

The restaurant announced on Facebook that they were back open this week under existing proprietors Tom and Marilyn Tenetuik. Tom confirmed in the comments that the sale did not go through and he was back on the job as of Tuesday.

The restaurant also stated their staff members had agreed to return as well, and that they "look forward to continuing the tradition into the future years."

The existing owners had previously been looking at selling the longtime business at 92 - 22nd St., located in the historic Battleford railway station building. It was announced at a Battleford town council meeting in March that Ash and Nicole Alam were buying the restaurant with plans to keep it open with an expanded menu.

It is not immediately clear why the sale did not proceed. In any event, the restaurant is back to business as usual.

In their post on Facebook the restaurant acknowledged it "has been a whirlwind of emotions along with some frustrations in the last few months as the future has been very unknown for the Pennydale Junction family." They acknowledged the support of the public, saying "we wouldn't have been here for the last 30 years without the love and support of this community."
