Special to the Times Vedette
Colleen Conrad isn’t just selling a restaurant — she is passing on a piece of Casey’s history. The owner of Pioneers Pub & Grub, 618 McPherson St. in Casey, is looking for a new buyer but promises the pub will stay open for diners and community events until the right person comes along.
For Conrad, the restaurant was never the main goal. Through her company, Conrad Ventures, she has spent the past decade reviving Casey’s historic buildings, turning neglected spaces into thriving homes and businesses. From restoring the Heritage Building — now apartments and shops like Revel Spa — to helping launch and ultimately sell Tin Lizzie’s Sports Bar, her work has reshaped the town’s landscape. The three buildings that house Pioneers Pub & Grub are the next step in that vision.
Even as she steps back from daily restaurant life, Conrad plans to remain deeply involved in Casey. She says she is committed to historic preservation, affordable housing and community programs supporting families in need. Her hope is to find a buyer who shares her love for the town and its heritage, ensuring that Pioneers Pub & Grub remains not just a business, but a vibrant part of Casey’s story.
