The Po-Man has moved on up.
Po-Man's BBQ Ribs is now in Sutherlin, just five months after it started on Highway 99 South in Roseburg.
The new location is a sit-down restaurant, while the Roseburg spot was a former espresso stand.
"Business was just so good out there and we had such a great demand for space that we needed a bigger building," said owner T.J. Johnson.
The 1269 W. Central Ave. restaurant can seat 20. The location had been home to other restaurants in the past, including the Lettuce Inn.
The new Po-Man's has eight employees. Before, it was just Johnson and his wife.
The menu has been expanded to include catfish and chips. There are also all-you-can-eat specials Wednesday through Friday.
"Still the same menu, still the same prices, same great taste," Johnson said.
The restaurant is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Information: 459-2800.
BEEF & BREW IS OPEN: Roseburg's Beef & Brew Restaurant did not close. It isn't going to, either.
That is contrary to a rumor that picked up some serious steam over the last few weeks. Owner Joe Wright said the rumors are absolutely not true.
"We were pretty shocked about it," he said.
"Numerous" customers called and came in, Wright said, asking about a report they apparently heard on the radio that the longtime local eatery next to the Roseburg Valley Mall was closing.
The restaurant isn't closing. It's actually going through some changes and improvements.
There's a new manager, Gene Fultz. In the next week or so, there will also be a new menu.
Beef will still be well represented, with classic steaks, but there will also be additional pasta and vegetable dishes. The kitchen is getting a makeover as well.
The restaurant has been in Roseburg since 1981. It is open from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for lunch. Dinner is 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 4 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Information: 673-8030.
DAIRY'S FAMILY PRIDE: Umpqua Dairy Products Co. of Roseburg was a finalist for a statewide award this month.
Oregon State University's Austin Family Business Program named the Roseburg-based company as a finalist for the 2005 Excellence in Family Business Awards in the large business category.
The awards, presented Nov. 17, recognize the achievements of family businesses in areas such as innovation and community contributions.
Umpqua Dairy finished second to Consolidated Supply Co. of Portland.
This year's nomination illustrates Umpqua Dairy's growth. It won an award in 1990 -- in the medium-sized company category. The large business category requires 100 or more employees.
DENVER LIKES OREGON: The Denver Post ran a story about Umpqua Feather Merchants' impending move to Colorado. The paper also reported on the Oregon Ducks football team lobbying for a Fiesta Bowl berth last week.
Clearly, the paper's sights are set on our state. Next, they'll be writing about the predatory acts of a former Oregon governor. Or maybe a former senator in a similar boat. Or, perhaps, an ice-skating princess turned accused felon turned professional boxer turned everlasting punch line.
Actually, Denver Post, please, take all those away. What do we put in the water in Oregon, anyway?
