Shawano restaurant closes its doors

Grandma Sophia’s Family Restaurant in Shawano has closed its doors and appears to be under new ownership.

Real estate records at the Shawano County Courthouse show that the property at W7389 River Bend Road was purchased for about $400,000 by Naser Shabani, of Tomahawk.

The restaurant had previously been owned by Sofie Abdiu, but records show the seller was a bank.

Shabani, who is associated with Tomahawk Family Restaurant in Tomahawk, declined to comment on the sale or any plans for the restaurant’s future.

A sign in the window indicates the business is closed temporarily.
