Senator Risch, who is a senior member and former chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, praised The Gangplank for its longstanding presence in the region. "The Gangplank has been a Southeast Idaho staple for 55 years," stated Risch. "Owned by the Croney family, The Gangplank serves the people of Idaho Falls delicious fish and chips and excellent community service.
