NEW ON THE BUSINESS SCENE: BEL AIRE BAR AND GRIL UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

The Bel Aire Bar and Grill in downtown Cape Girardeau is under new ownership.

The restaurant at 24 S. Spanish, which offers burgers, Jamaican pulled chicken and barbecue, will remain open six days a week -- Mondays through Fridays from 4 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. and Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 1 p.m. The grill opens each day at 5 p.m.

Debby Dees of Scott City is new owner and Rocky Brown is general manager.

"We'll feature carryout lunches as well as inside and outside deck dining," said Brown, who previously operated Rock's Restaurant in Scott City.

Brown added that a luncheon menu will be offered, starting next month.

John and Jerrianne Wyman, who operates Mollies Restaurant and the Royal N'Orleans, previously owned the Bel Aire.
