The Wabash County Chamber is proud to announce Ponderosa Steakhouse as the Blue Ribbon Business of the Month for S e p t e m b e r . Ponderosa’s general manager, Stephanie Ogan, sat down to talk about the restaurant. Growing up in Wabash County, she began working as a server in 2003 and worked her way up to her current position as general manager in 2009. Rob Salway is also a salaried manager with the Wabash Ponderosa. The business has been a member of the Chamber since 2001, when CMR Partners, LLP bought the restaurant. CMR Partners is located in Indianapolis and owned by Michael Rees and Brian Ripley. They currently own and operate eight P o n d e r o s a Steakhouses. Ponderosa is a fullservice restaurant that employs 43 workers. They offer cooked-to-order main courses at very reasonable prices. “We are not just a buffet restaurant, and as a meal or added to your main course, the buffet is an incredible value,” said Ogan. Ponderosa offers a hot buffet, cold salad bar, Bakers Nook Dessert Bar and soup station. Ponderosa can also cater events such as business meetings, graduation events and more. The staff enjoys the interaction with customers that come in to dine. P o n d e r o s a Steakhouse started in 1965 in Kokomo, and currently operates in 15 states and six other countries. Hours of operation for the Wabash Ponderosa Steakhouse are Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Ponderosa is located at 1319 N. Cass St., Wabash, and may be reached at 260-5634166 or pondo1032@cmrrestaurants.com.
