A staple in Bainbridge is ready to open its doors again to customers this Friday morning. 
Arnold's Pizza King, 110 W Pat Rady Way, Bainbridge, is set to open back up Friday at 11 a.m. The restaurant had been closed since the restaurant had a small fire last October. 

"The fire was contained inside the oven hood, but we took the time to redo the whole place. There is a new kitchen, new paint, new flooring, everything is new," co-owner Dylan Arnold told The Putnam County Post.

As a family run restaurant, Arnold said he and his family have gotten a lot of comments on Facebook and out and about in the community from people ready to return for pizza, breadsticks and more. 

"I look forward to it. If we don't have to make an emergency run or two, something is wrong. I expect some wait times, but we hope to be able to get around them," Arnold said. 

And, as excited as the customers are to return, Arnold said his family is just as excited to see them.

"Everyone has been great, and we want to say thank you to everyone. I am excited to see everyone's smiling faces again, and I know I will be smiling because I am just so thankful to everyone and this community," Arnold said.
