At some point during the holidays, I drove past I Luv K-Eats and wondered what was going on with the place.

Little did I know that behind-the-scenes plans were hatching to bring in new ownership. Either the I Luv K-Eats Facebook was scrubbed, or there's a new one, because I was trying to find out how long it's been since the place changed hands.

Behind The Scenes Changes At A Popular Rockford Restaurant

Either way, there was a new ownership announcement just last week, and according to social media, it seems to be in good hands:

Our new owner, Nono, came to the United States from Myanmar (Burma) two and a half years ago to begin a fresh journey and pursue her dreams. With determination and a strong work ethic, she embraced new opportunities and set out to build something meaningful.

Since arriving, she has worked hard, sometimes balancing three jobs at once, to make her goals a reality. That same passion has led her to take ownership of this restaurant. She believes food should bring people together while honoring both tradition and innovation.
