Patrons Cook Up Deal to Keep
Restaurant Owner in Kitchen
100 Satisfied Potrons
Donute Funds to
Give Him New Stort
~ the Asseeiu,sd Press

BLUErIEID, Va. April L.
Pete Loizos owns a large. we'll
equipped and fashionable new
restaurant because 100 Bluefield-
lers liked his cooking and set him
Iup In business.
Otherwise, the 49-year-old ma
| tive OF Cypress still might be
travelling around the country,
cooking in first one restaurant and
then another.
The story Of how Pete, jovial
heavyweight with a powerful
Ihandshake. came to own a popular
l$85. 900 eating place starts when
he. was forced out of a smaller
restaurant In downtown Blue
field, w. Va.
During his stay in the smaller
establishment. Pete had seen his
lhard-earned $4,000 dribble away
because Of first one thing and then
Ianother. Then his lease expired
and the landlord asked him to
move SO the property could be
converted to another type Of busi-
mess.
Pete said, he was out on the
street with mo place to go and
nothing to go with 1t looked
for q while as If he would have to
pack up and start cooking again
lin some one else's kitchen.
He was saved by a group of reg
ular satisfied customers. The group
raised about $4,000 and turned
it over to Pete to pay for stock
in a new restaurant. The $14,00c
provided him with enough to start
construction of new building
about SO feet over the Virginia
State line in suburban Bluefleld.
Pete managed to borrow about
l$7O. 900 from a local bank to sup
lpleinent the $4,000 his friends
gave him.
The completed restaurant is
large enough to seat between ITS
and 400 persons. Pete's customers,
who can get steak or seafood
dinner for an average Of about
$1.70, often go into the kitchen to
visit with the cook. Pete does
all the cooking.
When he opened the place. some
sceptics said he wouldn't make a
dime because 1t was too far from
downtown Bluefield.
That was 18 months ago. Now.
