Invoking a Biblical verse from the Book of James, the owners of Rowleys Bay Resort announced late last week that you will not see the business rise again from its ashes.
Rowleys Bay Resort owners Jewel and Bob Ouradnik had originally said they would rebuild after the fire destroyed a large portion of their buildings, including the bakery, administrative offices, and staff housing, on September 5th. After further reflection, the Ouradniks decided the property was for someone else’s journey and that they would retire.
“We have been asking God to direct our path and help us to see what His plans are for us, “ the Facebook post on the Rowleys Bay Resort page read. “The message is becoming more and more clear to us - it is time for someone else to carry on and build their own dreams.”
The couple has met with their commercial real estate agent and has already started conversations with a prospective buyer. They have spent the last few weeks thanking everyone who helped them build their business over the decades and assisted them over the last few weeks since the fire broke out. You can read the full message below.
