BARTLETT — The Red Parka Steakhouse & Pub of Glen has been sold, with the keys to be turned over to new owners Jesse “JJ” Truman IV and wife, Theresa, on May 13 once they obtain their food and liquor license from the state, according to former owner Terry O’Brien.
“The papers were signed two weeks ago,” O’Brien told the Sun on April 30.
