FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 “Benaddiction,” a beloved breakfast spot in Fresno, is set to close its doors for good on Monday, Jan. 19. <\/p>\n
The restaurant, which began as a food truck before expanding to two brick-and-mortar locations, announced its closure on Facebook last week. <\/p>\n
James Caples, CEO of “Benaddiction,” explained that the closure is because of having to shut down the company’s original location.<\/p>\n
“It left an $800,000 hole in my budget,” Caples said. “That’s a hard thing to overcome.”<\/p>\n
Caples said a year into opening his second location, the landlord of the original location did not allow a lease renewal, forcing its closure.<\/p>\n
Despite efforts to adjust hours and increase personal involvement, Caples said they would not be able to overcome the “hole” in their budget.<\/p>\n
Since the announcement, the restaurant has seen a surge in customers eager to visit one last time. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve had the busiest day of each day we’ve ever had since the announcement,” Caples said. <\/p>\n
Anya Delamotte, a newer customer, shared her disappointment.<\/p>\n
“I just discovered it last week and I was so excited about this place because it was going to be my new favorite place,” Delamotte said. “I am really sad that it\u2019s closing.”<\/p>\n
On the restaurant’s final day, Caples will sell mugs from the restaurant’s famous wall of mugs and invites everyone to say goodbye. <\/p>\n
After the closure, Caples plans to step away from the restaurant industry for good.<\/p>\n
