Operations for this full-service restaurant in Eureka were closed Monday night by its owner.
Johnny's Place owner Terri Kettenbrink is known for wanting to make customers happy with her good food. She worries about plate presentation and whether customers are enjoying themselves. But last night was a tear-filled one for Kettenbrink, who had to shut down her restaurant operations, due to not enough business. Johnny's Place was a family-friendly restaurant with flat screen TVs, an outdoor patio and private party room. Kettenbrink re-established herself not long ago to the Central Avenue location from Washington, MO, to create an American cuisine menu in Eureka. She supported city events, such as Mardi Growl and most recently participated in the Wild Wild West Hoedown sponsored by Old Town Eureka merchants during the annual Eureka …

Eureka businessman Brandon Fry offers an anti-hammocking design air bed, a product he says customers won't find elsewhere.
When Brandon Fry wishes people good night, he really means he hopes they have a good night. As owner of AirBed Pros in Eureka, Fry is concerned about the quality of sleep people receive. He tries to ensure customers get matched with products that best suit their needs. To that end, he just opened a retail store at 1739 West 5th St. in Eureka. It is in the same outlet area as Fastenal. "We began as a local service company that operated online. Customers would call for service, and we would go to help. When we rebuilt our website in 2010, we realized our national sales went up. And as we grew, we began to drop-ship to customers nationwide more than local sales. This was our biggest gain to date. It today accounts for 90 percent of our total …

'Karen’s Off The Rack' provides high fashion to Eureka. The shop's owner just relocated here.
A multi-generational labor of love is now Eureka’s newest place for multi-generational fashion, with the opening of Karen’s Off The Rack, at 107 E. Fifth. Eureka native Betty Elder named the shop for her daughter. While battling cystic fibrosis, Karen Elder opened a bridal boutique. Karen, with the help of Betty Elder and Betty's mother, Leona Martin, built Karen’s Wedding Boutique into a West St. Louis County landmark for 18 years. With her daughter’s death and her mother’s retirement, Elder has relocated the business to Eureka and expanded the boutique concept. “I knew the business opportunities are better in Eureka,” she said. “I was born and raised here.” Elder attended Sacred Heart and Eureka High schools. Although the store’s …
