A popular Restaurant now makes an unexpected and abrupt closure after being open for nearly 20 years, sources report.

A Bonefish Grill restaurant has suddenly closed after being open for almost 20 years, reports The-Sun.

The seafood chain’s establishment in Secaucus, New Jersey, shut on Friday at the close of play.

Bonefish Grill is under Bloomin Brands’ banner of restaurants with its sister being Outback Steakhouse.

Workers were reportedly told of the shutdown on the same day the restaurant was closing, per Patch.

A sign was put up on the restaurant’s door that the eatery was shutting down for good.

Tables, chairs, and the Bonefish Grill logo have now been removed from the building.

The restaurant had been a staple in the Secaucus dining scene for 19 years and chiefs said the decision to shut up shop was tricky.

“Closing a restaurant is never easy.

This was a business decision that is not a reflection of the management or staff,” spokesperson Elizabeth Daly told The U.S. Sun.

“Some employees will have the opportunity to transfer.

Those who do not will receive a severance package.”

The decision to close the restaurant has left diners stunned.

“Terrible. Hope something good replaces it,” one fan said online.

“Why, it was such a nice place,” another lamented.

“So many restaurants since the pandemic,” a third said.

Workers have been left saddened that the restaurant has closed.

“Thank you for the amazing 10 years. I have met some fabulous people. I have learned so much. So many memories, laughs, tears, fights, love and relationships,” one staffer cried.

“Some of the best people in my life I have met thanks to Bonefish.”

A massive US grocery is now closing an unexpected location after shutting down 22 stores recently, the company confirms.

Low profitability has Walmart shutting down some stores, with one’s full closing date steadily approaching, reports The-Sun.

The Walmart located on South High Street in Columbus Ohio closed down on February 16.

But it’ll close its doors officially on March 4 when it bids farewell to the last open part of its store — the pharmacy.

This comes after locations in San Diego and El Cajon, California, which is located about 16 miles from San Diego, shut on February 9 as previously reported by The U.S. Sun.

While the retailer has suffered 22 closures in the past year, it’s now seen three stores shutter their doors in just weeks.

The closing of the Columbus, Ohio location was “not made lightly” according to a letter penned by Walmart to the Mayor of Columbus.

The retailer said the decision was made after a careful and thoughtful review process.

“While our underlying business is strong, this store hasn’t performed as well as we hoped, and we made the decision to not renew the lease,” the company wrote.

The announcement came days before the store’s closing and employees only found out about the news on February 2.

But, the store’s roughly 180 workers have months to search for jobs at other locations.

Employees have until May 3 to get a job at another Walmart and if they fail to do so, they’ll be terminated, reports The-Sun.

However, concerned shoppers should note that there are at least ten other Walmart stores in the Columbus area. 

Despite the closures, Walmart recently announced expansion plans.

The company is expected to open 150 new or expanded locations and renovate hundreds of others.
