The Lumberyard Food Hall in downtown Pullman announced it will be closing their doors for good at the end of January.
The news broke via a social media post to the restaurant’s Facebook page, reading, “We are officially closing. Our last day is Saturday, Jan. 31st. Thank you, Pullman,” signed off with a heart emoji.
Although the restaurant did not specify the reason for the closure, Lumberyard made sure to express its gratitude to the Pullman community.
Co-owner Molly Golden stated in a press release that “Lumberyard was built around the idea of community — supporting small businesses, creating a welcoming place downtown, and giving people somewhere to gather. We truly had something for everyone, and we are incredibly proud of what was created here.”
Lumberyard Food Hall opened in October 2021 with the goal of creating a locally owned, community-focused gathering place in downtown Pullman. Over the years, Lumberyard became a local hot spot for food, music, events, and community connection.
Nicky Dehle said she has made the trip to Lumberyard often for a bite to eat, and occasionally for a company karaoke night. “There’s a lot of local restaurants that have been closing down. It’s really a bummer, we just wanted to take the opportunity to support local while we can.”
Lumberyard will continue regular events through its final weeks, including karaoke on Tuesdays, bingo on Thursdays, Coaches Shows on Mondays and Tuesdays, dancing on Friday and Saturday nights, and one final Latin Night on January 30. Guests are also invited to purchase a Timber glass for $12 with the first fill and $8 refills as a keepsake, while supplies last.
Current vendors Mang’s Sushi and Mi Rinconcito Colombiano are planning to continue serving the community in new locations. As vendors inside search the Palouse for new locations, the future of the Lumberyard building is currently unknown.
“We are deeply grateful to our staff, vendors, customers, and the Lumberyard community for their support over the years,” said co-owner DJ Goldfinger in a press release. “This place existed because people showed up — not just to eat, but to support local.”
