ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - Cook's Corner is reopening Friday, more than a week after the popular Trabuco Canyon bar was at the center of a horrific mass shooting.
The bar made the announcement on its social media page saying it will have a soft reopening Friday, September 1 at 11 a.m.
Cook's Corner also plans to hold fundraisers for the shooting victims from the Aug. 23 shooting but did not give exact dates on when that will happen. The restaurant's owner explained the decision to reopen was to bring the family back together.
A vigil will be held Wednesday, September 6 at 7 p.m. at the Library of the Canyons in Silverado.
The announcement comes a week after a former cop went into the bar during its weekly "Spaghetti Night" and opened fire at his estranged wife and shot at random people inside and outside of the business. The horrific shooting left three people dead and six others injured.

This was knocked off the front page by the Jacksonville Fla shooting. I had to look it up!
First I heard of this. I went to Cooks Corner in the ‘70’s when living in Long Beach. Then it was a ‘Bikers Bar’ out in the country side. In the late ‘90’s well not so much a bikers bar but a mix of bikers and suburbanites from the encroaching neighborhood. Have not been there in 20 some years. Likely the houses have moved into the area and taken over. Well things change.
It's not a soft opening if you are advertising it and generating free publicity via interviews with the media. Let's have some integrity here.
