SCHOFIELD, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – The Garden Pancake House on Grand Avenue in Schofield closed Monday, leaving employees without a job and zero answers.
The restaurant was open Sunday, and while some employees could see they felt something was off recently, they wouldn’t have imagined the establishment would close without warning. “There was no warning to any of us,” said Daisy Moldenhauer, a former waitress of Garden Pancake House, told WAOW TV.
She woke up this morning to a flurry of texts and missed phone calls from her co-workers saying that the restaurant is shut down. Her co-worker who was opening today said that some of the equipment was missing.
“She came to work, and she noticed that our stock rooms were empty, the grills were gone, the register was gone, the pie case was gone,” Moldenhauer said. “It was all gone. Even our salt and pepper shakers.”
Moldenhauer has worked at the Pancake Garden House for around five months with the first two months of work going smoothly. From then on, though, she could feel something was off.
She did try to get a hold of her former boss, but the answers she got were vague and unclear, Moldenhauer told WAOW TV.
