LIKE MANY OTHER BUSINESSES GOLD CREEK FACED AN ECONOMIC CHALLENGE

Violett cited rising operating costs, including minimum wage increases, as significant factors in her decision to close. "I simply can't afford to continue to operate," she explained. The owner had hoped to avoid raising prices for customers, but felt that the economic challenges left her with no choice.

IT'S NOT JUST A RESTAURANT

In addition to the restaurant, Gold Creek Station features a saloon, coin-operated laundry services, and a fully stocked grocery store. Violett has put the property up for sale, noting it is ready for new business opportunities for future owners.
