EAST GRAND FORKS, Minn. (KVRR) – The Spud Jr in East Grand Forks opens outdoor pods to provide dining services for those in the community.
The Spud Jr. owner Justin LaRocque says that having to deal with the pandemic on top of the everyday hurdles of opening a new business has been something very hard to navigate.
“On top of dealing with Government shutdowns of indoor dining, and whatnot, you know it’s been your regular growing pains of establishing a new business and making sure that you’re getting your brand out to the community and making sure people know who you are and where you’re located,” says The Spud Jr owner Justin LaRocque.

EAST GRAND FORKS, MINN. – A Polk County Judge has ordered the Boardwalk Bar and Grill in East Grand Forks to remain closed to indoor dining under the governor’s Executive Order.
The ruling released Tuesday converts a temporary restraining order previously granted into a temporary injunction that will remain in effect for the duration of the state’s lawsuit.
The legal challenge was filed by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on December 11th – two days after owners of the Boardwalk opened their doors in defiance of Order 20-99 designed to slow the spread of COVID. That prompted the Minnesota Department of Public Safety to suspend the Boardwalk’s liquor license for 60 days.
