The fun thing about VK threads is that they are completely timeless. We could take all of the posts from 10 years ago, paste them in here, and they'd be entirely consistent with current posts. We could even have a contest to see if any of us could identify old vs new

The one thing that is consistent is people like the Village Kitchen. Good quality at a fair price brings them many repeat customers.

Places like the VK and Pop's have spent many years building up a well deserved loyal following.

If I am not mistaken, VK has new owners. Shouldn't the new owner build their own reputation? Their own way? Reputations are non-transferable IMO and well stated, time and time again, on this very web site.

Nothing wrong with copying the success of the previous owner, esp if you worked for him or her.
If it's not broke it doesn't need fixin, until it does! In this case it seems like the new owner of VK has just followed in the footsteps of the previous owner with continued success.
I've seen a lot of good businesses, that changed hands, that were run into the ground because the changes didn't sit well with the clientele.

I totally agree. VK had a different, very popular approach and don't change what ain't broke!!

At least a handful of us have commented that the new owner is continuing the most important aspects of the old owner's approach. He is smart enough not to fix what isn't broken. Thus he is building his own reputation. You should try it and report back
