The Hot Tomato in Fruita has a new owner.
The change was announced on the pizzeriaâs Facebook page Thursday morning and in a post on their website. The letter announcing the change was signed by Hot Tomato founders Anne Keller and Jen Zeuner as well as the new owner, Aaron Knapp.
âAaron Knapp, who has been working with us for over six years now, is the proud new owner of The Hot Tomato. We could not be happier with this decision,â the letter reads.
Keller and Zeuner will not be leaving Fruita, the letter explains. The two founded Hot Tomato, 124 N. Mulberry St., in 2005, and are active in the Fruita community. In 2019, the outdoor clothing and apparel company Patagonia featured the two, along with their business.
