Friday afternoon (October 17) Long John Silver's on Minnesota Avenue closed it's doors. The Iowa-based fast food franchise had closed 16 stores earlier this year but Sioux Falls had been spared because business had been good.

The store had been run by it's current ownership group since 1993 and even underwent a remodeling within the past couple of years.

I called the store Friday night but the workers who answered the call would not give out any information as to why they closed or what would happen to the other Long John Silver's locations.

Monday, the owner of Valentino's Buffet on 41st Street just a block east of Western Avenue, put the building up for sale for $1.35 million. He's had the business for the past 24 years and says business is going well, but has had some potential buyers interested in the property.

He hasn't decided whether he would open Valentino's in a different location if he sold.

The store remains open while on the market.
