A GEORGIA Applebee’s unexpectedly closed its doors last week without explanation.
Fans are mourning the loss of the Tucker-based restaurant, with many customers saying they can’t believe it.
“Well, it’s official. The Applebee’s on Tucker is officially closed,” former employee Wanda Yvette Daniels declared in a publish on Facebook.
The restaurant, about 20 miles northeast of Atlanta, was listed as permanently closed online.
And customers are still struggling to understand why.
“I had seen something online claiming Applebee’s was closing, but I thought it was a hoax,” one user wrote.
“Well, damn, and I was coming home next month and thinking about going there [haven’t] it’s been there a long time,” said another.
“Really?” asked one user. “We just did a 2/$25 Togo two weeks ago.”
However, your guesses are as good as anyone’s – not even employees were informed before the closure.
“They don’t want anyone to give up before they close the doors, so it’s all secret,” commented one user.
“I hate this for you and your coworkers,” wrote another.
Daniels said Applebee’s wants her to work at a different location on Memorial Drive in Decatur, Georgia.
“I wouldn’t survive in that store,” she said.
Located in the Cofer Crossing shopping center off Lawrenceville Highway, Tucker Applebee’s was independently owned.
Built in 1998, the site occupied about 5,000 square feet, according to DeKalb County documents obtained by Tomorrow’s News Today – Atlanta.
It was located close to stores like Kroger and Walmart.
The future of this site remains unconfirmed.
