The time has finally come for the Verna Belle’s Café renovation! After careful planning and many, many meetings, the team is ready to give Verna Belle’s a great new look featuring updated appliances, paint, furniture and even more space for our café-goers to enjoy their meals and socialize.

Verna Belle’s will be closed starting on Saturday, Aug. 12, for the renovations to begin. It is expected to be closed for approximately four months. The construction crews will be working Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Although we will try to keep disturbances to a minimum, you may hear some noise as the construction crew works. For the safety of all residents, staff and guests we ask that no one enter Verna Belle’s as these renovations are underway.

Have no fear—the convenience store items will still be available! Simply head to the Prairie Star Host Stand and the servers will be able to order any convenience store items you would usually see in Verna Belle’s. These items will be available for delivery or pick-up at Prairie Star within 24 hours. Our Verna Belle’s ladies will be opening Prairie Star up a bit earlier than usual throughout the week to provide breakfast. Prairie Star will be open Monday through Friday from 7 to 10 a.m. to serve the breakfast special and a la carte items. Pastries will be available on the weekends beginning at 9 a.m.

If you have any questions, please contact Brook Marcotte, Dining Services Leader, at 323-3821.
