A simple haircut led to the fulfillment of a dream for a local entrepreneur.

While in the barber’s chair at Dorothy’s Barber Shop, Lonnie Young’s interest was piqued when he learned Starvin’ Marvin’s in Buckner had closed. Young immediately inquired about the space and began plans to fulfill his dream of opening a family-centered restaurant.

Rooster Creek opened 36 days after the family signed the lease on the property. A complete renovation, new menu and a focus on happiness paved the way for the business to open on Nov. 6.

Last Thursday Oldham County residents proved that White Castle was what they craved.

A visit by the White Castle Crave Mobile led to a steady lunchtime crowd in La Grange last week, as the truck set up shop in the Kroger parking lot.

Many people lined up well before the 11 a.m. start time for the food truck, which had a steady line of at least 50 people waiting to order during lunch hours.

Mark Logsdon, General Manager of White Castle System Inc., said the truck showed up to “feed the members of craver nation.”
