'Thank you for being part of our journey': Popular San Diego café to close

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- An iconic restaurant in Old Town is shutting its doors after nearly 40 years of business.

Perry's Café, located at 4610 Pacific Highway, announced it will permanently close on Thursday, Aug. 15.

"We express our heartfelt appreciation to the thousands of people who have crossed our doors during our 39 years in business. Your loyalty and patronage have meant the world to us, and it has truly been our pleasure to serve you. Thank you for being part of our journey!," the café said.

Opened in 1985, Perry's Café is known by locals as a San Diego County landmark, according to the company's website.

The restaurant -- started by Greek immigrants Constantine "Costas" and Margaret Georgakopoulos, and later taken over by their daughter Perry -- offers a diverse menu, including Italian and Mexican breakfasts.

Perry's Café is open daily from 7 a.m.- 1 p.m.
