The announcement was made in July on the restaurant’s Instagram page.

“Thank you for 5 magical years and even that half year of meh. We’re going to get to know our kids. We have 2 fully fleshed-out restaurants, ready to lease. DM or email to inquire.”

Owned by Bray and Mary Claire Britton, the eatery was known for a fantastic Cuban sandwich, a wide variety of healthy salads and the legendary  “ridiculous” cookie.
