Magleby's bids farewell to Provo

(Daily Herald) Magleby's founder, Doc Parkinson, talks with customers on the last day of business at the Provo location on Saturday. After 30 years in Provo, Magleby's is moving the restaurant to a recently renovated historic building on the corner Main Street and 200 South in Springville where it will share a building with Trivani International.

"We're moving because of the incredible opportunity," Parkinson said.

Magleby's will operate on the first floor and open a steak grotto in the basement as well. There is not a set opening date, but Parkinson assures that it will be ready before Valentine's Day. None of the current employees have been laid off, in fact, all of them are now going to work in Springville.

"I'm just so thrilled," Parkinson said. "I really do feel like the luckiest guy in town."
