It is a sad story to report, but one of the most unique restaurants in Wyoming is closing.

Little Shop Of Burgers in Casper.

Little Shop was based on the hit musical play and movies, Little Shop of Horrors. The entire restaurant, including its menus and even its bathrooms, was horror-themed, based on classic horror films.

The staff and owner worked hard through COVID and even a couple of years when the road to their restaurant was blocked off due to construction. There is more highway construction blocking them again, which can't be helping.

The following was posted on the Little Shop Facebook Page.

Hey friends!

There is really no easy way to say this, so we are just gonna rip the Band-Aid off.

Little Shop of Burgers will be closing permanently on August 30th.

The note goes on to thank the community for their love and support. You can read the entire message at this link. 

If you want to have some fun, read their list of horror-themed menu items on their website. 

If you know your horror movies, you'll know why these burgers are named as they are. They do serve more than just hamburgers.

Since they are closing August 30th, this would be a good time to go and have one last meal and beg them to stay open, although it looks like they can't, but beg them anyway.

Little Shop of Horrors is a dark comedy horror story about a nerdy florist assistant named Seymour who names a strange new plant "Audrey II". The plant brings him fame and fortune, but it demands to be fed human blood and flesh. It began as a 1960 B-movie, became a massive hit stage musical, and was adapted into a famous 1986 film.

The logo for Little Shop of Burgers looked like Seymour the plant, but if Seymour were a burger.

Vintage Wyoming Movie Posters

I love walking down the hallway of a modern movie theater and looking at the old posters of vintage movies.

That got me thinking about old Westerns based on Wyoming. How many of those posters are still around?

Many are, and many are for sale online, if you want to decorate your home, or even home theater, with classic and mostly forgotten movie posters.

Most of these films were made before the era of television. Hollywood was cranking out these things as fast as they could.

The plots, the scrips, the acting, directing, and editing were SO BAD, they were good.
