Pokey Stix connoisseurs will have to do without during Gumby's Pizza and Wing's temporary closure as ownership changes.
Natalie Boozer, a representative of CampusSpecial.com, did not know when it would reopen.
“Somebody else bought it, and they told us to shut (the CampusSpecial.com page) down for right now so they could transition with new ownership and will probably be back up again,” she said.
Kevin Nolley, a representative of Terry Court Properties, which owns Gumby’s building, confirmed that the pizza place is still a tenant.
He said he did not know details of the business.
Gumby's phone number has been disconnected, and Gumby’s Campus Special page says “CLOSED.”
A Gumby’s representative could not be reached.
A version of this article appeared in the Jun 8 issue of the Collegiate Times.

bad pizza = bad business

Gumby's made OK pizzas, then bad pizzas, and finally really good pizza in the last handful of years. The previous owner really turned it into a hidden gem. I'm hoping they don't change a thing.

Well if it's closed... having it on there with a "order online" link and phone number to call to order would be rather misleading wouldn't it?

I've heard that Benny Marzano's purchased it as a second location offering delivery as well as carry out, but it could just be a really awesome rumor.

I saw this mentioned online as well (Benny Marzano's moving in to offer delivery)

You might say the reporter here (Michelle) did a bad job sourcing the story in the rush to get something out there. Now Michelle, you will just have to hope that Gumby's one day come back to Blacksburg in some random location so she can be redeemed.

一挙一動が勘違いに裏づけされた計算で行動してる感がある。
