Exciting News for Paint Box Cafe!

We are so excited to announce that the Paint Box Café is staying open! While the Durbin family will soon end their journey at the café, we will be handing over the reigns to the new owners. The Paint Box has been an amazing experience for Steve and I, as well as our three children. We are truly grateful for the love and support of all of our family, friends and each of you that we have met along the way. We are so happy that the story and life of the café doesn't have to end and want you to get to know the new owners, Dale and Patricia Mitchell. Please start by reading a note from Dale below and come in the café soon to introduce yourself and tell him what brings you to the Paint Box.  As for the Durbin's we'd love to see you for lunch in our last few days and hope to stay in touch!

Blessing to you all,
Heather, Steve, Laura, Wade and Bennett Durbin


A note from Dale:

Hello to all the Paint Box family!  I am Dale Mitchell and currently reside in Camdenton.  I was raised in western Kansas but came to Missouri in 1978 and have considered it home ever since.  I am a pastry chef and love the breads and pastries.  Patricia is my wonderful, lovely wife and is an RN at Lake Regional Hospital.

We are super excited about this opportunity to become part of the Paint Box Café family.  We have been working toward this for a number of months and are so glad to see it come to fruition.

There are, as you would assume, lots of things that we want to accomplish with the Paint Box, but we know a good thing when we see it and much of what you love about the café will NOT change.  As we progress through the next few weeks and months your input is desired and will be accepted with an open mind and you will be accepted with open arms.

I would also like to thank Heather and Steve for their patience during the long, tiring process of getting things in line for this to happen.

We will be taking possession of the Paint Box on March 1^st, as there are a number of things we want to do prior to opening we will be closing the café for 2 weeks.  We will be having our Grand Re-opening on March 17^th and would love to see each and every one of you then.

There will be some opportunities in the near future for you to get some free goodies at the grand re-opening so check back often.
