TRUSSVILLE — Joel’s Restaurant on Main Street in Trussville has partnered with CM Food Service.
CM Food Service Director of Operations Mitch Hurt said owners Joel and Peggy Rickles are getting some help so they can have some time off.
Joel’s Restaurant opened in Trussville in January 1983.

“We’re going to be around,” Peggy Rickles said.
Peggy Rickles said she and her husband have seen babies grow up and bring their own babies to the restaurant.
“We’ve seen a lot of generations come through here,” she said.
Hurt said the restaurant’s recipes will remain the same, that nothing is going to be changed as a result of the partnership.
“We recognize it as the institution as it is,” Hurt said.
Hurt called it a “perfect fit for everybody.”
