RAFFOUL INVOLVED IN INTERNATIONAL HOTEL

LEAMINGTON — Local music icon Jody Raffoul and his family have become involved in the ownership of the International Hotel.

Jody was quick to point out that he wants patrons to know that it’s the same “I.T.” they’ve come to know and love and they are not out to re-invent the wheel.

They plan on doing some kitchen renovations and work on the outdoor patio, as well as expand their entertainment.

The Jody Raffoul Band has taken up residency as the Wednesday live entertainment, with DJs and Karaoke alternating Fridays and live bands on Saturdays.

Of course, pool league night is still Tuesday with some trivia nights planned for Thursdays.

The bar has reopened with the same friendly faces that patrons are used to and the same family atmosphere.

He’s looking forward to 2025 when the I.T. will celebrate 100 years. Photo courtesy of Jody Raffoul
