The King’s Rook Club has put the business up for sale while it looks for a buyer who shares its commitment to Erie entertainment.
In a letter to members and patrons on Facebook, Jonathan Wallin and Kelli (Wallin) Koppes of the King’s Rook Board of Directors said the decision followed the death of original founder James Wallin and is what they believe is best for their families.
The board said the club will remain fully open and operational during the transition. All events will continue, memberships will be honored and staff will stay in place.
The board said it is seeking a qualified buyer who shares its core values and will care for its members. Finding a successor will take time, the letter said, but nothing changes about how the club serves members for now.
