Hinkle's Pharmacy restaurant will remain open as developers buy it
Hinkle's Pharmacy restaurant will remain open as developers buy it 
Hinkle's Pharmacy is going to continue to be an institution in downtown Columbia.Local developers Don and Becky Murphy are buying the pharmacy on the corner of Third and Locust streets.While the pharmacy will close, the restaurant will continue to operate, Don Murphy said. It will be closed for four days as part of the transition, and the restaurant will reopen at 7 a.m. Oct. 30.
The restaurant will be run by the current head chef, John Sipe, and managers Robin Ortman and Tom Davis. The roughly 40 restaurant employees will be able to keep their jobs, Murphy said.John F. Hinkle III, the current owner, had announced earlier this month that the 124-year-old business would close on Oct. 25 because of its "declining financial position."The establishment has been the nucleus in town, and that's why the Murphys and their company, Cimarron Investments, looked into purchasing it.
