Centerville a few miles west of Short Pump has closed its doors for
good. Facing significant financial hardship, owner Bobby Dervishian
decided to cease operations after the first of the year.

The
eastern Goochland County restaurant featured not only an indoor bar
and restaurant seating, but a recently completed outdoor tiki bar,
complete with several tons of sand, beach chairs and tiki torches,
plus outdoor stage for weekend concerts.

Summer Shack’s Facebook fan page Tuesday afternoon.

Thank you for all of your support,” he said. “It has been a great
time making new friends and getting to know old friends better. We
hope that we are able to find a way to keep up with everyone who
has become so special to us, so keep in touch and let us know how
you are doing. Stefan and I will be using the Shack [Facebook] page
to keep you up to date on our upcoming projects.”

future endeavors.
