Professional experienceJP Looneys - The Closing of a Legacy
On August 1, 2017, a somber sign affixed to the door at 2213 Oak Ridge Road caught the attention of passersby. It read, "JP Looneys at Oak Ridge Commons shopping center in Oak Ridge closed on Monday." With heavy hearts, the community bid farewell to this beloved establishment.
JP Looneys had been a vibrant presence in Oak Ridge for years, offering a welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and a place for friends and families to come together. Customers would flock to the restaurant, drawn by its mouthwatering menu and lively ambiance.
Although the closing of JP Looneys was a sad moment, the legacy it left behind cannot be ignored. Throughout its existence, the establishment had become a cherished part of the local community, embracing the Oak Ridge spirit and creating unforgettable memories.
Moreover, Oak Ridge is not just about food and entertainment. It is also about craftsmanship and dedication to quality.

Equally important is the Iron Workers Local 384 Union Hall, which plays a crucial role in supporting and empowering ironworkers in Knoxville, Tennessee. With a vibrant online presence, the union hall fosters a sense of camaraderie and provides essential resources for its members.
In addition, the community also got a taste of JP Looneys through the Looneys Wing Wagon Food Truck. This mobile extension of the original restaurant brought the same delectable flavors to different corners of Oak Ridge, delighting residents and visitors alike.
