Zins re-opens at exact anniversary of closure
06-12-2009 | Dining
When Zins Restaurant in downtown Cedar Rapids was forced by rising floodwaters to close at 4:15 p.m. on June 11, 2008, owners Amy Wyss and Lee Belfield had no idea when they would reopen. It turns out the answer is exactly one year later — to the minute.
At 4:15 p.m. Thursday, the Zins Restaurant flag flew above the entrance again, symbolizing the reopening of the restaurant.
"When we closed, we had no idea what the damages would amount to or how we would surmount the challenges the flood brought," Belfield says in a press release. "And while we never imagined the extent of the damage, we also could not have imaged the extent of the help we have gotten from our friends and supporters in this remarkable community."
Full, regular hours, including lunch, will begin June 16.
