This was his response..
Don't you wish more businesses thought like this?
Papa is a friend/member of INGO, and has even catered INGO events. Not only can we support this business to help make up in a small way for his loss, we can enjoy great food at a discounted price.
I guess I'm going to have a hard time getting the words out right without rambling, and I'll keep it as short as I can.
About 7:30 tonight, The Roux was robbed by an armed robber.
EVERYTHING IS FINE. THE CROUX IS FINE. And they thought quickly and calmly, and the entire incident was resolved with very little damage and even with no real alarm to customers.
I want to commend the croux by name. Hannah Elisabeth Watts, Alex Verbarg, Rebecca Read, Jeffrey Cunningham, Andrew Cutshaw. You're all rockstars.
These folks are our extended family, and I do not take kindly to them being harassed in this manner.
ALL CUSTOMERS: UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, YOUR CONCEALED CARRY LICENSE EARNS YOU 25% OFF YOUR MEAL WHEN YOU DINE IN.
And before anybody starts in with The Roux becoming the "OK Corral"... No I'm not advocating it. But hell, if thugs are going to come in and threaten OUR extended family with guns, you'd better believe I will use every trick I know to protect them. Protect our family, I mean. Not the thugs.
DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A DEBATE ON GUN CONTROL OR POLITICS. MY RESTAURANT. MY WALL. MY BUSINESS. I can give discounts to whomever I please.
