I saw a post on Facebook from someone who heard that Four B’s Restaurant on 10th Avenue South was being torn down.
In the comments, there was some back-and-forth over whether it was actually JB’s restaurant (1322 10th Avenue South) that had closed, or Four B’s restaurant (4610 10th Avenue South) that had closed.
I drove by JB’s today and confirmed: JB’s restaurant has indeed closed permanently.
Well…in theory, it could be a temporary closure, but all signs point to a shut-down – literally.
There is a sign on the door that says it is closed: CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE. JB’S MANAGEMENT AND STAFF
And the large outdoor sign says it is closed…
On both sides:
And there were no cars in the parking lot at 5:30 p.m.
I don’t have much to say – the last time I ate there was way back in 2008. I know they had a salad bar that was pretty popular.
As for what might move into the space – don’t know. In the aforementioned Facebook post, there was talk of a Panera, but I don’t know if that is actually in the works, or just wishful thinking.
There are various articles on the internet that say Panera is looking at getting 6 locations in Montana. One in Helena, Kalispell already has one. So it could be true that they are putting one in here as well.
JB’s Restaurant was open many years and I worked there about 6yrs..Too bad they close like that
My wife and I were going to stop in there for breakfast yesterday, (6/16) until we noticed that the parking lot was empty, and the closed sign.
We drove down the road to 4Bs instead.
