In January, Diness Lamichhane took a chance and revived a restaurant at 113 Main St. in Beckley.Â
On Monday, he announced that his business is for sale, mainly due to a four-month road closure that reduced his business, Roma Pizza and Grill, to $100 a day for months. That put a knife in our heart, Lamichhane said Monday, of the four-month closure.
