Local Duo Takes Over LeRoy’s Bar and Grill in Cottonwood

Big news for LeRoy’s Bar and Grill in Cottonwood: Two local business pros have taken the reins!

Dee Johnson and Jon Jeseritz are now the proud new owners.

Jon, who’s from the area, runs Jeseritz Electric. Dee, originally from Canby, has been around here for a while and has experience managing restaurants and bars.

LeRoy’s, located on First Street in Cottonwood, has been a local favorite since it opened in January 2010.

Tom Handeland, the previous owner, has handed over the keys with full confidence in Dee and Jon. Fun fact: Jon’s electrical company actually helped with the original remodel of LeRoy’s!

Tom, who also owned the Hitching Post in Annandale and Marshall, shared that LeRoy’s got a major facelift when it first opened, with Jon handling all the new electrical work.

Now, Dee and Jon are ready to keep the good times rolling at LeRoy’s.

They’re planning fun events like karaoke, prize drawings, live music, and even street dances.

Plus, they’re shaking up the menu with some monthly specials. The community is already buzzing with excitement and giving them a warm welcome.
