Happy Joes Appleton converting to Finley’s
Happy Joe’s in Appleton is converting to a Finley’s Restaurant. Finley’s is a restaurant focusing on creative soups, salads and sandwiches using fresh ingredients.
Fans of Happy Joe’s pizza will be relieved to know that Finley’s will still feature Happy Joe’s pizza every day including the popular lunch buffet.
Because of the changes, the game room will be eliminated. If you’ve been saving up tickets, you should redeem them by June 2, 2013.
