Red Osier Owners Selling The Restaurant

The owners of a well known Western NY restaurant are retiring and selling that business. Bob and Noreen Moore, who own the Red Osier Landmark Restaurant, have owned the restaurant for 36 years and they say they are looking for an experienced restaurant operator.

During the transition they say the restaurant will remain open, and they also say that their son, Rob Moore Jr., who owns the other Red Osier businesses such as kiosks and concession stands as well as a catering business on Ridge Road, will continue to operate those businesses. They are not for sale. 

The Moores say the  sale of the business is bittersweet for a family who has spent nearly four decades serving the Greater Rochester area, but according to Bob Moore, it is time.

“We are incredibly grateful to our employees, many of whom we consider our extended family, our loyal customers and the community for their support, friendship and patronage over the years,” he said. “But after 36 years in business and 52 years of a happy marriage, it is time for Noreen and me to enjoy our retirement with our family,” Moore said in a statement released Monday.

Before retiring in March 2025, Randy Gorbman was WXXI's director of news and public affairs and managed the day-to-day operations of WXXI News on radio, television, and online.
