Goodbye Pizza Ranch. Hello Unhinged Pizza.

Standard | Posted on by

It’s a sad day for Waconia. Our beloved Pizza Ranch is no longer. Well sort of.

The Pizza Ranches in Waconia, Norwood Young America, Glencoe, Delano have all changed to Unhinged Pizza.

Unhinged Pizza

Unhinged Pizza has the same owners, managers, and employees so not a lot is changing. They have a new name and have added some new food like ice cream!

It seems that the owners broke away from the Pizza Ranch franchise and went out on their own. Or that’s what I understand.

From what I’ve heard, the food is just as good as it was and all your favorites are still there.

Locations are all still the same too, it’s just got a different name. Change is scary, but this shouldn’t be to much of a change for us Pizza Ranch lovers.

Waconia welcomes Ground Round! The new restaurant is a nice addition to the city as we have a lack of good sit down restaurants  Besides bars and fast food, there aren’t a lot of other choices. Ground Round is a nice alternative.

It’s a good place to take the buddies, the kids or even get food for take out.

Duebers isn’t closing just yet.

If you’re a fan of Duebers, then I’d suggest you visit again soon. The store has no official plans to close soon, but it could.

The building Duebers is in is for sale. When the building sells, Duebers will more than likely go out of business.

Now selling a building in this economy isn’t easy. It could be months or years before that happens. Either way, when it does, it’ll be a sad day for downtown Waconia.

Scarecrows Coming to Town

ScarecrowStarting October 6th, scarecrows will be invading Waconia.

The 5th annual scarecrow contest will partner ideas from the community with business to create fun and interesting scarecrows. They will then be placed around town for everyone to enjoy.

The contest officially goes from October 6 to the 9th, but most scarecrows will probably be up through Halloween.

They have hundreds of pumpkins that you can choose from.
