Businesses Show Support For Former Lakewood Quaker Steak & Lube Workers

Two Lakewood businesses have extended support to former employees of the Lakewood Quaker Steak & Lube after the restaurant announced it was closing Tuesday.

The Quaker Steak & Lube, located at 15312 Detroit Ave., told its staff that thy would be out of work the very day the location was shuttered. But two restaurant managers have no reached out over social media to help out the former staff, reported the Lakewood Citizen.

Ryan Krivosh, the owner of Around the Corner, located at 18616 Detroit Ave, posted a message on Facebook asking former Steak & Lube employees to contact him regarding openings at his own restaurant.

"Ryan here from Around the Corner in Lakewood. We are hiring cooks and servers so please have them reach out to me. Thanks!"

Bill Randall, director of operations at Burgers 2 Beer, also offered his support. Randall even went one step further and said that any former Steak & Lube employee can schedule and interview for openings at the restaurant located at 1938 Euclid Ave.

"I am Director of Ops for Burgers 2 Beer and would like to pass on to all former employees of Quaker Steak that they are welcome to stop in and will be scheduled an interview. We have several openings gearing up for the summer ranging from Kitchen Management, Cook, Bar, Serve and Host. I can only imagine how it feels finding out this terrible news. They did have a lot of great people there."
