B & B Country Cafe at 324 W. Garfield was abruptly shuttered Tuesday morning by the State of Kansas.
A sign on the door said the property was seized by the Department of Revenue for nonpayment of taxes. A KDOR press release listed the amount as $204,204.61.
Owner Kimberly A. (Bender) Larios could not be reached for comment.
John Brocker, who owns the building, said he was contacted by the sheriff’s department at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and was given the opportunity to identify and protect property he owns, which he said includes most of the restaurant’s items.
