HORSEHEADS, N.Y. (WENY) -- The current owners of Curly's Chicken House have purchased Beef's Sports Bar and Grill in Horseheads, one of the owners announced on Facebook Monday.

"We are very excited about this new adventure and looking forward to meeting new people! We promise to keep this place an important place in our community while adding some new exciting things," wrote Kristi Mertsock, the new owner of Beef's.

Friday will be the first day under the new owner's operation. The establishment went up for sale because the previous owners wanted to retire.

"Its time to move onto the next chapter, into retirement. We've been here for many many years, and now it's time for some new blood," Jenifer Driscoll, one of the former owners of Beef's previously told WENY News.

Beef's was previously listed for sale with a price tag of $799,900.
