Duffy’s Lounge to have ribbon-cutting event

Duffy’s Lounge at the Econo Lodge, 2222 W. Sixth St., Lawrence, will have a ribbon-cutting event at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 21 to celebrate its renovation.

The event will feature complimentary menu items and soft drinks and is in conjunction with the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

The renovation includes new hardwood floors, four flat-screen televisions, a new bar setup and a dinner menu for the first time.

The lounge was renovated as part of a larger renovation plan instituted at the University Inn Econo Lodge since Gemstone Hospitality Inc. took over management in November 2007.
