New Henderson restaurant PERKS, owned by Janet Miller of Henderson, will officially hold their Grand Opening on August 19. To celebrate the event, PERKS will have door prizes and samples all day from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. so customers can test the new products they serve. A limited menu will also be served for lunch and dinner featuring BBQ brisket, pulled pork, and ribs.
Throughout the day, a silent auction will also be held for the letters that spelled “Dutch Kitchen†on the front of the building for many years. “We have had many people tell us they would like the Dutch Kitchen sign for sentimental reasons and there is no fair way to decide who to give it to,†said Miller. “We are hoping to use money from the silent auction to start renovations on the back of the restaurant.â€
A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 4:00 p.m. hosted by the Henderson Chamber of Commerce, York County Development Corporation, Southeast Nebraska Development District, City of Henderson, and Cornerstone Bank, who were consulted as service providers during the purchase of this business. The day will end with Rock the Block Back-to-School night where Main Street will shut down from 8-10 pm for roller skating, roller blading, skateboards, scooters, and small wheeled bikes and trikes while the music plays and PERKS sells ice cream.
PERKS specializes in cakes, specialty coffee, and café food with regular hours from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday and Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
