In a statement released via the Klavon’s Pizzeria & Pub Facebook page, owner Justin Klavon announced the closure of the original Klavon’s location near Northwest High School:
To our many loyal customers, employees and longtime Northwest community, thank you!
After 13 years of making pizza at the original Klavon’s in Northwest we have decided to permanently close the Rives Junction location effective January 6th. The terms of the building lease have expired and the costs to continue doing business at this location outweigh opportunities for future growth.
The Northwest community has welcomed the ‘K’ with open arms since day one and for that I will be forever grateful. We have developed many friendships and loyal customers throughout the years and have watched countless employees develop into outstanding individuals. We will continue to support the Northwest community from our Jackson and Mason locations where we look forward to serving you and sharing the pizza memories of how it all began.
This location laid the groundwork for future expansion and transformed Klavon’s into a well-known, hospitality driven restaurant. The closing of Rives Junction will allow us to redirect focus at our Jackson and Mason locations, where we see endless opportunities to perfect our craft. Please know that the goal is to retain as many of our Rives Junction employees as possible, should they choose to work at one of the other Klavon’s locations.
From the Klavon’s family to everyone who walked through our doors in Rives Junction, we hope you have enjoyed us as much as we have enjoyed serving you.
Thank you again for 13 wonderful years in the Northwest community, we will miss you tremendously.
Sincerely,
Justin Klavon
