The Beanery is definitely not closed. The new owner(s) have returned a few favorites on the menu. In my opinion food and staff quality has improved. It's a shame more people don't know about it.
Thank you sir. Maybe I just caught it at the wrong time....but I was out and about around 3pm on Thursday and there were ZERO cars in the lot. I thought...this is strange. It just looked completely vacant.

Sadly, your parking lot perception is accurate. They haven't done a good job of getting the word out. Maybe once WVU students return business will pick up.
I stopped going to the Beanery after its heyday in the 90s. We did go there about a year ago with family. When I sat down my arms stuck to the sticky table. I told the waitress the table was sticky and she came back with a rag to clean it. The rag smelled like it had been used for weeks without washing it. It left the entire table smelling foul. Gag.....

It would probably help them get the word out if they would repair their neon sign located right on 705. I am amazed that this hasn't been done.
The Beanery was a viable chain in the mid 2000s, with locations in Harrisonburg and Blacksburg as well. I noticed the original location on High Street has long since closed, is the rest of the chain basically defunct? First place I ate when visiting WVU on a college visit in 2001.

The original owner retired and sold the restaurants to various individuals.
It looks like a new hotel is being built called the Cranberry with 80 rooms in Cranberry Square. That's across from the Mon Fayette Junction development where Medexpress located their new office.

Good find!
According to Accelerated Construction it is the Cranberry an Ascend Hotel. If it is the Ascend that I am thinking of, that makes it part of the Choice Family of hotels.
$1,000,000 starting bid? Yeah it's definitely going to be turned into townhomes/apartments/houses.
