What they're saying:
"We have about 75 employees here and were able to place all of them at our other restaurants. So nobody's employment is disrupted. Our manager teams are at other restaurants or overseeing the remodeling. So we have been really, really happy that we have been able to keep everybody employed," said Eric Wagner, Lowlands Group.
Lowlands Group also runs the Buckatabon Tavern & upper Club located across from Café Hollander. It did not have any damage and is open for business.
