Amidst rumors of a possible sale, as of January 30, 2023, Jimmy’s Pizza in Silver Bay remains under the ownership of the Roger Jacobson family, according to Jacobson’s daughter, Alexis Jacobson.
Roger Jacobson owned and operated Jimmy’s Pizza for seventeen years, until his tragic passing in December 2021 from cancer, seven months after his first diagnosis. Alexis Jacobson says, “He worked tirelessly to run his business during a time when staffing shortages are in abundance.” After his passing, Jimmy’s Pizza was left to his family. In September 2022, it was determined that the doors would close.
The building was listed for sale, and remains actively listed on multiple realtor sites. At this time, it remains under the ownership of the Jacobson family.
In the case of the building finalizing a sale, the seller is unable to share the identity and purpose of the purchaser. My condolences to the Jacobson family during this time. I have fond memories of Jimmy’s Pizza from my childhood – delicious calzones, chicken alfredo pizza, using the little white plastic stands in the pizza boxes for dollhouse furniture, and my fascination with the little railing running as trim along the ceiling.
