Sounds like it
Below is an article from WDBJ website in October:
CATAWBA, Va. (WDBJ) - The Homeplace Restaurant is officially making a return next year, under new ownership.
The popular spot in Cawawba closed in 2021, citing COVID-related struggles.
The new owners say they will continue to serve traditional recipes and keep most of the traditional menu.
They are considering adding specials and serving breakfast and lunch on the weekends.
The goal is to reopen by Easter 2026.
