WILLOW GROVE, PA \u2014 Carrabba’s Italian Grill has closed its doors this week after operating for over a decade.<\/p>\n

Carrabba’s Italian Grill operated its restaurant just off the Willow Grove Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange, with its sign looming over drivers and luring them to the Maryland Avenue location.<\/p>\n

While its website is still active, a call to the restaurant by Patch on Friday said it was permanently closed, with patrons reporting on the Horsham and Huntingdon Valley community Facebook sites saying Carraba’s closed on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Parent company Bloomin’ Brands<\/a> announced it was closing several Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Outback Steakhouse, and Bonefish Grill locations, with 21 restaurants closed in late 2025 and an additional 22 closures planned through 2030. <\/p>\n

The company said it was shutting underperforming, older locations, primarily those with leases from the 1990s and 2000s. <\/p>\n

Carrabba’s also has a location in Bensalem Township, Bucks County as well as Palmer Township and Allentown in the Lehigh Valley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WILLOW GROVE, PA \u2014 Carrabba’s Italian Grill has closed its doors this week after operating for over a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121106,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[191,193,192,194],"class_list":["post-121105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bensalem","tag-bensalem","tag-bensalem-headlines","tag-bensalem-news","tag-bensalem-township"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121105\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
