Now it's 1978; open 24 hours a day with 30 employees. 1200 sq. ft. more space and many more tables.
Until:
40 years from opening day Luella and Carl turned the business over to a new owner. It's time to hang up the apron! OOPS!
Since that didn't work out; property was sold to "AUTO ZONE" and the Park Inn is no more.
The Park Inn was famous for its' buffet! Not only were they the first in Odessa; it proved very effective attracting customers. Park Inn; we miss ya!
