Closing Restaurants in Western New York

It is that time of the year where Summer is over, the typical last big push for making some money before we see closings in Western New York. Four restaurants have closed up shop in Western New York already.

The owner of a Lancaster-favorite restaurant made the announcement on Facebook on Wednesday afternoon. Mike Robb, wrote on Facebook that the Tap Room at Clarksburg Cider is shutting down citing that both fluctuations in the economy and the unstable work force have been the challenges. Here are 4 restaurants that have closed fairly fast in Western New York:

• Just Vino wine bar closed at the Granite Works at 846 Main St. in Buffalo
• Jet’s Pizza closed at 2165 Delaware Ave. in Buffalo
• Break’n Eggs Creperie closed its original site at 5234 Main St. in Williamsville
• Clarksburg Cider abruptly closed this week. They will sell cider elsewhere, but closing the restaurant.

The challenges of owning a restaurants are real. You have to be there A LOT and in this culture and economy it is not easy to keep things constant. These are 4 restaurants that have closed all within the past few weeks, but Western New York has been lucky to get some great, new restaurants as well.
