Pizza Roundup closing Saturday

Pizza Roundup on U.S. 60 East just outside of Marion will close its doors for good Saturday.

Owner Pam Hinderliter, who initially planned to shut down March 17, said she is simply tired and burned out with the hectic pace of running a restaurant. She decided to close a week early because most of her employees have already found other jobs.

"I'm just trying to survive at this point," she said.

The restaurant is open from 6 to 11 a.m.

Hinderliter said there have been some people who have expressed interest in taking over the business, but at this point she doesn't know how serious those interests are.

Though the frantic pace and hard, long hours have taken their toll, she said there's a part of her she'll be leaving behind.

"I've made a lot of friends," she said. "That's what I'm going to miss."
