Though the exact date of closure is unknown, an orange Public Health and Safety notice also posted on the building was dated Sept. 29.
As of Friday, the location was still listed on the company’s website.
On Sept. 24, the location posted on Instagram about a new menu item, but it’s unclear why it abruptly shut down.
The franchise filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2025 to focus on restructuring the company, which included closing several locations across Florida and other states.
