Parking outside Crusen’s Rt 29 & Whitey’s BBQ was empty at lunchtime on Monday and the facility’s front door was locked. The windows were dark and showed no signs of life inside the building — located at 1007 N. Main St. in Creve Coeur.
A sign outside said the business was “closed today”. No reason for the closure or expected reopening date was given.
Crusen’s also operates locations at 426 E. War Memorial Drive in Peoria and 2117 W. Farmington Road in West Peoria. At the end of September, Steven Crusen opened Duck just down the road from Crusens in West Peoria.
