Former 13 Coins VP to Lead Refurbishment and Possible Expansion
SEATTLE, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattles renowned 24-hour fine dining
restaurant 13 Coins is changing ownership, effective April 1. Jeanne Boyce
Jones, owner of 13 Coins, Inc. sold the companys intellectual property and
assets from its South Lake Union and SeaTac locations to 13 Coins Acquisition,
LLC, headed by former 13 Coins Vice President Stan Templeton. The new owners
will immediately begin an extensive refurbishment of the always-bustling South
Lake Union location and have plans in place to expand to Bellevue later this
year.
"After being part of the team that helped bring 13 Coins to unprecedented
growth over the past six years, Im excited to introduce The Coins to a whole
new generation," Templeton said. "The character of 13 Coins will remain
intact; we aim to build upon the restaurants mission of bringing the best
service, surroundings, food and drink to our customers. And expanding the
restaurants famed 24-hour counter culture to the Eastside is long overdue."
The restaurant, which opened nearly 39 years ago, serves a timeless menu
of steak, pasta, and seafood. Its history and menu of staples has made it a
permanent fixture in Seattles dining landscape at its South Lake Union (125
Boren Ave. N) and SeaTac (18000 International Blvd.) locations. The dining
room counter with high-back swivel stools fronting the grill and intimate,
ceiling-high booths will remain as Templeton and his investment team expand on
the restaurants legacy.
Run since 1981 by the Boyce family, owner Jeanne Boyce Jones said she and
son William S. Boyce had considered selling the company for several years to
pursue other interests. "It has been our familys pleasure to own the 13
Coins restaurants over the past 25 years; it was a difficult decision to
sell," Jones wrote in a statement. "The time has come for us to pursue other
interests, but we plan on visiting the restaurants and keeping in contact."
