LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Valley Station business known for its food and entertainment has announced its closure after 13 years.
Owner Khalil Batshon said “Khalil’s” will close on Aug. 31.
He called the Dixie Highway restaurant a “labor of love” and was proud of what he and his team of employees achieved for more than a decade.
“This success is a testament to the resilience and passion of our team and the unwavering support of our community,” Batshon said in a statement. “We want to express our deepest gratitude to our incredible team and loyal customers. Over the years, many of you have become like family, and your support has been the cornerstone of our success.
